Silver Sheen Obsidian Celestial Sun & Moon Carving

The sun and moon nestled together in a sweet embrace, it almost appears as if the crescent moon is kissing the sun. This celestial scene is carved into Silver Sheen Obsidian. Silver Sheen Obsidian is a variety of black Obsidian that has bright silvery inclusions. This stone is formed when volcanic lava cools down very quickly after coming in contact with water. It is a natural volcanic glass that has a lustrous texture and when you hold this stone in the light it has a flash of silver which seems to be glowing from within.

Obsidian is a mineraloid which is a naturally occurring mineral-like substance that does not demonstrate crystallinity. Other examples of mineraloids include glass, coal, and opal. Obsidian can be found anywhere where there is volcanic activity, however, the popular extraction sites are found in Brazil, Mexico, Afghanistan, Japan, and the US. Silver and Gold Sheen Obsidian comes from Mexico where it is extracted with shovels and pickaxes.

Silver Sheen Obsidian is said to have a higher vibrational rate than Black Obsidian. Looking for a stone to do you a solid and negate some negative energy? This protective and grounding stone is especially good for helping one rise to challenges and make good decisions.  The silver sheen also resembles the galaxy, which can help one draw on the cosmic energies within oneself. 

This cool and calm volcanic stone embodies moon magic so this carving celestial shape is very appropriate. Lunar energies like mystery, intuition, and reflection (and its physical properties) make it great for scrying, or gazing to reflect and let go of unconscious fears.
