Product Details

- Weight: 803 g
- Material: Gold Obsidian (natural volcanic glass with a golden sheen)
- Origin: Mexico
- Shape: large freeform, polished
Gold Obsidian freeform from Mexico, polished over a large area with a deep black base and a warm, golden shimmer that looks like captured sparks. This 803 g unique piece is perfect as a decorative item for a desk or altar.
Imagine coming home after a long day, placing this gold obsidian on your desk – and noticing how the room suddenly takes on a completely different quality. Calmer. Clearer. Grounded. At 803 g, this freeform is no small thing: deep black, highly polished, and in the center this warm, golden glow – like sparks trapped inside the stone. The effect of gold obsidian is traditionally valued especially for energetic protection, shielding against negative energies, and strengthening self-confidence and inner clarity. In Feng Shui practice, it is also considered a stone of abundance and wealth – a wonderful companion for the office or reception area. I recommend it for a prominent place on a desk or sideboard, where it can make its full impact, both visually and energetically. Incidentally, the Aztecs used obsidian for ceremonies and mirrors for divination – this stone carries a very long history within it.
💡 Affirmation: I am protected, grounded, and open to the abundance of life.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gold Obsidian
What makes gold obsidian so special and how does the golden shimmer form?
Gold obsidian is a rare variety of volcanic obsidian that owes its characteristic golden luster – the so-called golden sheen or chatoyancy – to tiny inclusions of hematite or magnetite platelets that aligned as the lava cooled. These microscopic fine layers reflect light in a very special way, creating this warm, metallic-looking glow that shifts and changes depending on the angle of the light. Mineralogically, obsidian is a natural glass and has a Mohs hardness of about 5 to 5.5. The most beautiful specimens come from Mexico, where volcanic activity has produced unique qualities over millennia.
How do I properly care for my gold obsidian?
Gold obsidian can be rinsed briefly with lukewarm water – a quick wipe is completely sufficient; prolonged soaking is not necessary and should be avoided. Direct sunlight over a long period of time can dull the polished surface over time, so it is better to store it in semi-shade. Moonlight is wonderful for energetic charging – simply place it on the windowsill overnight, preferably during a full moon. Alternatively, you can place it on a selenite slab or cleanse it with Palo Santo or sage. For transport or storage, we recommend a soft cloth, as obsidian's Mohs hardness of 5 to 5.5 makes it more sensitive to harder minerals.
How can I identify genuine gold obsidian?
Genuine gold obsidian pieces show their golden shimmer only from certain angles – it moves when you turn the stone and almost disappears in other positions. This is the surest sign of authenticity! Faked or inferior variants often show an even, all-over sheen that does not change – that is a warning sign. On the market, black-dyed glass is sometimes sold as obsidian; genuine obsidian feels cooler, is heavier, and shows natural streaks or inclusions upon closer inspection. Our gold obsidian comes directly from Mexico and is 100% natural – not dyed, not treated.
How do I use gold obsidian in Feng Shui?
In Feng Shui, gold obsidian is associated with the areas of wealth, protection, and personal strength. A large freeform like this one is ideal for an entrance area or office – it is intended to intercept negative energies before they enter the room, while simultaneously supporting the energy of abundance and success. It is best placed in the southeast corner of your room (Feng Shui wealth area) or directly on your desk to your left. Its imposing size of 17 x 12 cm makes it a real energy anchor that is also immediately effective visually.
