Please note: 1) Sizing Info Below; 2) Silver and Golden Sheen Obsidian Comparison Guide is below; 3) Stone bead sizes and inclusion patterns vary naturally — no two stone beads or bracelets/necklaces are exactly alike.
🌍 Origin & History
Golden Sheen Obsidian is a rare and mesmerizing form of volcanic glass created when molten lava cools so quickly that it solidifies without forming crystals. The golden glow, or “sheen,” is caused by microscopic gas bubbles and mineral inclusions trapped during cooling, reflecting light in shimmering waves.
- Origins: Predominantly mined in Mexico, though smaller deposits are found in the western U.S. and other volcanic regions.
- History: Ancient Mesoamerican cultures valued obsidian for both tools and spiritual purposes. Golden Sheen varieties, in particular, were prized by shamans for scrying, protection, and communication with higher realms.
- Interesting Fact: In mythology, obsidian mirrors with golden or silver sheen were believed to be portals to the spirit world, used for divination and prophecy.
🌸 Also known as: Sheen Obsidian, Gold Sheen Obsidian, Golden Obsidian
🌸 Notes: 100% natural volcanic glass — the stunning golden sheen is not dyed, coated, or artificially enhanced - simply mother nature!!
🌸 Eastern Healing Perspectives
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
In TCM, Golden Sheen Obsidian resonates with the Kidney meridian and Liver meridian, helping balance energy flow, detoxify the body, and strengthen inner reserves.
🌸 TCM Notes on Medical Healing:
- Supports Kidney Yang deficiency (fatigue, coldness, infertility, lower back pain).
- Helps regulate Liver Qi stagnation (migraines, PMS, mood swings, frustration).
- Assists with digestive and metabolic issues by supporting Spleen Qi.
- Believed to improve circulation and reduce arthritis and joint pain.
- Can be supportive for diabetes, weight balance, and thyroid/endocrine regulation.
- Aids sleep disturbances and nightmares by calming excessive Shen (spirit).
TCM Pairings:
- With Bloodstone for circulation and joint health.
- With Moonstone for hormonal balance and PMS/menopause symptoms.
- With Citrine to support Spleen Qi and metabolism.
🌺 Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, Golden Sheen Obsidian is considered balancing for Vata and Pitta doshas. Its grounding energy anchors excess Vata (anxiety, insomnia, nervous system exhaustion) while its cooling golden glow softens fiery Pitta imbalances (anger, inflammation, overheating).
🌺 Ayurveda Notes on Medical Healing:
- Useful for stress-induced digestive upset and hyperacidity.
- Helps calm anger, migraines, and inflammatory conditions.
- Balances energy during perimenopause and menopause, easing hot flashes and sleep disturbances.
- Grounds scattered Vata, reducing fatigue, restlessness, and overthinking.
Suggested Ayurvedic Pairings:
- With Amethyst for migraines and restful sleep.
- With Carnelian for reproductive and digestive vitality.
- With Turquoise to balance inflammation and soothe Pitta skin conditions.
Western Metaphysical Perspective
Golden Sheen Obsidian is known as a stone of manifestation, empowerment, and protection. Unlike Black Obsidian, which primarily absorbs negative energy, Golden Sheen is believed to reveal one’s inner power and purpose.
- Encourages clarity around career goals and life path.
- Shields against negativity while enhancing self-confidence.
- Supports past-life healing and spiritual growth.
- Helps transform feelings of lack or doubt into strength and motivation.
Western Pairings:
- With Tiger’s Eye for confidence and manifestation.
- With Clear Quartz to amplify intentions.
- With Black Tourmaline for powerful protection and grounding.
🌙 Cleansing & Charging
✨ Important Care Tips:
- Do not place near Hematite when charging — their energies may conflict.
- Do not soak in water — obsidian is volcanic glass and can weaken over time.
- Avoid leaving in direct sun for long periods — this may dull its sheen.
Cleanse:
- On a Selenite plate or wand overnight.
- With gentle smoke cleansing (sage, palo santo, sandalwood).
- A quick rinse under cool running water is okay (dry immediately).
Charge:
- Under the full moonlight to renew its golden shimmer.
- Place on a slab of black tourmaline.
- Through earth grounding (brief burial for 24 hours).
- In meditation with an affirmation of empowerment.
🌞 Day Ritual – Golden Empowerment Practice:
Wear your Golden Sheen Obsidian bracelet during the day when setting intentions. At sunrise, hold it in your palm, breathe deeply, and state aloud your goal or affirmation. Let the stone absorb this intention, carrying it throughout your day as a shield of confidence and purpose.
✨ Transparency
Each bracelet is made with 100% natural Golden Sheen Obsidian stones. Every bead is unique, with its own golden shimmer and natural volcanic glass texture — nature’s way of making each bracelet one of a kind. If a design ever includes non-natural or enhanced materials, that will always be clearly noted in the description — transparency matters.

Western Metaphysical Snapshot

- Golden Sheen pops with warm neutrals (Tiger’s Eye, Citrine, Carnelian) or as a power accent next to all-black.
Notes
- Both are natural volcanic glass; the sheen comes from microscopic gas bubbles/inclusions
- Expect natural variation: some stone beads show full “cat’s-eye” bands; others glow in soft waves—each stone is unique.
