Please note: 1) Sizing info is below; 2) Comparison Guide between Silver and Golden Sheen Obsidian is below; 3) Stone bead sizes and inclusion patterns vary naturally — no two stone beads or bracelets/necklaces are exactly alike.

🌍 Origin & History

Silver Sheen Obsidian is a rare variety of volcanic glass that forms when molten lava cools so rapidly that crystals cannot develop. What sets this variety apart is the metallic silver shimmer that appears when light passes across its surface — a result of microscopic inclusions and gas bubbles frozen in volcanic glass.

• Origins: Most Silver Sheen Obsidian is sourced from Mexico and occasionally from parts of the western United States.
• History: Ancient Mesoamerican civilizations revered obsidian for both practical (arrowheads, tools, mirrors) and spiritual purposes. The shimmering sheen varieties were often reserved for ritual and protective use.
• Fun Fact: In Aztec culture, polished pieces of sheen obsidian were believed to serve as portals for shamans and diviners — hence why obsidian mirrors are sometimes called “witch’s mirrors.”

🌸 Also known as: Sheen Obsidian, Silver Obsidian, Silver Flash Obsidian

🌸 Notes: It is entirely natural — the gorgeous shimmer is not dye, coating, or man-made enhancement - simply natural!! 

🌸 Eastern Healing Perspectives

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

According to TCM, Silver Sheen Obsidian resonates most strongly with the Kidney meridian and the Bladder meridian, making it a grounding stone for:

• Strengthening Kidney Yang (fatigue, cold limbs, lack of willpower).
• Supporting the Bladder channel, helping the body expel toxins and excess dampness.
• Calming Shen (spirit) — assisting with insomnia, nightmares, and overactive worry.
• Helping with conditions tied to stagnation and fear, such as lower back pain, adrenal fatigue, and reproductive imbalances.

🌸 TCM Notes on Medical Healing:

Practitioners may use it energetically to assist with:

• Arthritis and joint stiffness (moving stagnation in meridians).
• Diabetes and weight management (supporting the Spleen-Pancreas Qi).
• Migraines and headaches (calming Liver Yang rising).
• Menopause symptoms, PMS, and irregular cycles (balancing Kidney Jing).
• Thyroid and adrenal exhaustion (Kidney Yang deficiency).

TCM Pairings:

• Pair with Golden Rutilated Quartz for fatigue and endocrine issues.
• Pair with Moonstone for female cycle and menopause support.
• Pair with Smoky Quartz to amplify grounding and pain relief.

🌺 Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, Silver Sheen Obsidian is considered a Vata and Pitta balancing stone. Its cooling, grounding silver sheen calms the excess fire of Pitta and soothes the air/space imbalance of Vata.

🌺 Ayurveda Notes on Medical Healing:

• May aid in reducing inflammation, hot flashes, and stress-induced headaches.
• Grounding for anxiety, nervousness, and restless sleep.
• Protective for the digestive tract — especially conditions worsened by fiery or acidic imbalances.

Suggested Ayurvedic Pairings:

• With Amethyst for insomnia and dream work.
• With Carnelian for digestive fire balance (Agni).
• With Labradorite to protect aura during transitions.

Western Metaphysical Perspective

• Known as a mirror to the soul, helping reveal hidden truths and shadow work.
• Strong psychic protection stone, shielding from negative energy and attachments.
• Encourages clarity in decision-making, grounding scattered energy.
• Assists in past-life recall, spiritual journeying, and strengthening intuition.

Western Pairings:

• With Clear Quartz for amplifying self-discovery.
• With Black Tourmaline for extra protection.
• With Lepidolite to calm emotional storms.

🌙 Cleansing & Charging

✨ Important Care Tips:

• Do not pair with Hematite on charging plates — their energies may cancel each other out.
• Do not soak in water — obsidian is volcanic glass and may weaken if exposed to long water contact.
• Avoid leaving in direct, strong sunlight for extended periods — it may dull the sheen.

 Cleanse:

• Place on a Selenite plate or wand overnight.
• Use gentle smoke cleansing (sage, palo santo, sandalwood).
• Rinse briefly under cool running water if needed (pat dry immediately).

Charge:

• Under the full moonlight to restore its silver shimmer and energetic strength.
• Place on a slab of labradorite or quartz
• Through earth burial (short-term, 24 hours) for grounding recharge.

🌙 Optional Ritual – Nighttime Shadow Release:

Wear your Silver Sheen Obsidian bracelet before bed. Sit quietly with dim lighting, breathe deeply, and set an intention to release fear, stress, and negative thought loops into the stone. Place the bracelet on a selenite wand overnight. In the morning, the obsidian’s energy will feel lighter and ready to support you again.

✨ Transparency

Each bracelet is made with 100% natural Silver Sheen Obsidian stones. Every stone bead is unique, with its own shifting silver shimmer and patterns — nature’s way of making every piece truly 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.
