Obsidian
Obsidian Jewelry – Volcanic Beauty
Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when silica-rich lava cools rapidly without crystallizing. This process creates a smooth, glass-like stone with deep, mysterious tones — ideal for handcrafted gemstone jewelry. Obsidian is typically black but also appears in rare, stunning varieties like blue obsidian and green obsidian, each offering a unique aesthetic and energetic presence.

- Blue obsidian rings

It’s also valued for its metaphysical properties: calming energy, enhanced intuition, and spiritual protection.
Green Obsidian – Earthy, Rare & Healing
