Obsidian

Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed from rapidly cooled lava, prized for its deep black luster and smooth, glassy finish. This gemstone has been valued across cultures for thousands of years, both as a protective talisman and a striking decorative element. Known for its sharp edges when fractured, obsidian was historically used for tools and weapons. In jewelry, it offers a bold, sophisticated aesthetic that complements both contemporary and classic designs. Its density and durability make it suitable for rings, pendants, and statement pieces. Obsidian's mirror-like polish creates an elegant contrast in mixed-metal settings, while its grounding energy appeals to those drawn to natural gemstones with historical significance.
