AA quality domed rainbow obsidian bracelet

Well-being

Obsidian is a black stone of volcanic origin. It forms during the rapid cooling of magmatic lava.

The uniqueness of rainbow obsidian comes from fine gas inclusions and mineral nanoparticles trapped within the glassy mass. These microstructures diffract light, creating concentric colored iridescence ranging from purple to green, gold, and blue. This optical effect gives it the poetic name “heavenly eye.”

Obsidian in History

With its sharp edges, obsidian was a stone of choice for making blades, daggers, spearheads, and arrows during Prehistory.

The Egyptians used obsidian to create the eyes of their statues. The eyes of Tutankhamun’s funerary mask were made with black obsidian.

During embalming ceremonies, Egyptian priests used obsidian knives to ward off harmful energies.

The Aztecs made black obsidian mirrors to read the future.

Obsidian is traditionally considered a protective stone. It’s often seen as a symbolic shield against negative influences and is associated with grounding in reality.
It’s also linked to the subconscious, with some seeing it as a stone that supports inner exploration and the removal of emotional blocks. In some traditions, it’s mentioned in connection with healing past traumas and protection against unwanted spiritual influences.

It’s sometimes placed near the bed or under the pillow to help release stress and create an atmosphere of inner peace.

Cleansing and recharging

Cleansing:

Obsidian can be purified by rinsing it under water. To preserve the bracelet’s elastic, we recommend smudging with a palo santo stick or white sage. Burn the palo santo or sage and pass your jewelry through the smoke. Don’t forget to ventilate the room well after smudging.

Recharging:

Obsidian can be recharged in moonlight or by placing it in a quartz geode or an amethyst druse. You can also use a flower of life tray.
