Necklace #17
Length: 18”
This necklace has a shimmery Golden Obsidian heart focal surrounded by two faceted Green Garnets and Yellow Opal Spacers and smooth Golden Obsidian stones. A strong stainless steel clasp ties it all together.
As a bold statement necklace, I see this Golden Obsidian working well for masculine or feminine wearers. It would look perfect with a scoop or V neckline tee or sweater over a favorite pair of jeans or palazzo pants.
How is Obsidian Formed?
As lava flows and cools rapidly upon contact with the air or water, it solidifies into glass. Obsidian is essentially a type of natural glass.
Unlike many other types of rocks that form through slow cooling and crystallization, obsidian lacks a crystalline structure due to its quick cooling. This results in a glassy texture.
The distinctive golden sheen in Gold Sheen Obsidian is attributed to the presence of microscopic mineral inclusions within the glass. The most common minerals responsible for the sheen are magnetite and hematite. These tiny crystals align themselves within the glass, creating the reflective and metallic appearance.
Obsidian is found in areas with recent or ongoing volcanic activity. Deposits can be discovered near volcanic flows or in regions with a history of volcanic eruptions.
