Silver Sheen Obsidian Heart
Polished heart-shaped silver sheen obsidian beads — deep black with smoky silver glow and glossy highlights. Protective, grounding, and softened by a heart-shaped silhouette.
Silver Sheen Obsidian Heart is an igneous mineral, Mohs hardness 5.5.
Where it’s found: Obsidian is natural volcanic glass, found where lava cooled very quickly. Mexico and the western United States are well-known sources.
Why the colour: The silvery sheen comes from countless tiny gas bubbles and inclusions lined up as the lava flowed, which reflect the light.
Across traditions, silver sheen obsidian heart is worn as a reminder of protection, grounding, love and clarity. We share these correspondences as cultural tradition, not medical claim.
