Supply Chain for Gold Sheen Obsidian

This Gold Sheen Obsidian comes from artisanal miners in Mexico.  The deposit is worked by a variety of independent miners who sell as a co-op.  The mine has a low environmental impact and is relatively safe for miners.

This mine and lapidary is a family business in Guadalajara, Mexico. The father has been an Obsidian miner all his life, and his son runs a lapidary that specializes in polished Obsidian. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The business is also the exporter and sells at large gem shows in the Western United States.

I originally had fancy Obsidian from another source with more middlemen involved. I connected directly with my current source at the 2019 Denver Gem Show. They work exclusively in Obsidian, both pure black and rarer varieties such as Rainbow Obsidian, Gold Sheen and Silver Sheen. I learned that the father had been mining Obsidian his whole life and that when his children became adults, they decided to start a polishing factory and export it to the US. Their stock is exquisite, both the quality of the stone and the polishing techniques. I am very happy to do business with them.
