Obsidian is not a mineral in the strict sense, but a glassy rock, very rich in silica, that originates from the rapid solidification of magma. Its characteristics and appearance, as well as its widespread distribution, have made it famous since antiquity and have led to its use in rituals and ornamentation. Obsidian, along with flint, is known as "the warrior's rocks." In certain Stone Age cultures and early civilizations, it was highly valued because it could be used to make very sharp blades. Mesoamerican cultures used obsidian to make tools, ornaments, and weapons. The Egyptians considered it a powerful talisman and made amulets from it, carved in the shape of scarabs (their sacred animal), which they placed in the tombs of the deceased to ease their passage to the afterlife.

Golden obsidian is a mixture of the black color of obsidian and the gold color that represents wealth. Hence, it is known as the "stone of fortune." During the formation process, gas bubbles became trapped, giving it its golden appearance. These golden spheres are often called "golden eyes."

Origin: Mexico.

Properties: It cuts the ties of old love relationships and gently releases the attachments of the heart. Like other obsidians, it is capable of revealing the truth, but it has less power than black obsidian.
