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.

Gold Sheen Obsidian Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published October 2016  •  Updated August 2024  •  Read Time: 7 minutes
Gold Sheen Obsidian is a rare variety of Obsidian found primarily in Mexico.  It’s alluring iridescence is created by small inclusions of water vapor bubbles trapped inside the black volcanic glass.  The bubbles reflect back the light as a metallic gold or silver.  While it is widely available now in specialty rock shops, the Sheen Obsidian deposits were found relatively recently and so it has no unique historical traditions.  Gold Sheen Obsidian has a brighter and happier energy compared to Black Obsidian.  It is a phenomenal stone for exploring topics related to money, work, and success, as well as for taking action if we are dissatisfied.

    Another great crystal from a reliably great store!

    The Gold Sheen Obsidian is all I hoped for and more. Not only is it like a starry night, the luminous streaks of gold are like looking up at the Milky Way, and in direct sunlight in what seemed to be pure black areas there are subtler sparkles in places like the fainter, farther stars that show when you get away from the lights of towns. Of all the Gold Sheen Obsidians I’ve seen this one is the most mysterious.

    Thank you for the wonderful Golden Sheen Obsidian. It’s been a wonderful help! Clearly you’re correct about ethically sourced crystals. This is a wonderful crystal. It give me the willies what I read on the website you sent me. Right now though, I am worn thin with energy defense which your golden sheen obsidian has been so kind to help with. Thank you for finding such wonderful crystals and caring that their experience is a healthy one.
