Mine-to-market Platinum Obsidian. These black and gray banded Obsidians come from a mine that specializes in Rainbow Obsidian. The energy of pure Black Obsidian can sometimes be quite blunt, Platinum Obsidian is a like an iron fist in a velvet glove - the strength is there but it's more subtle. These would be great to bring to work for teambuilding and problem-solving. They would also be incredible to carry in a therapy session.

Platinum Obsidian Healing Properties

Ethically Sourced Platinum Obsidian

Know where your crystals come from

This Platinum Obsidian comes from La Revoltosa Mine in Jalisco, Mexico. It is a small scale mine with a low environmental impact and is relatively safe for the 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.

Platinum Obsidian Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published June 2023  •  Updated September 2023   •  Read Time: 8 minutes
Platinum Obsidian is a silver and black banded Obsidian.  Despite the name, it doesn’t contain any precious Platinum, the name is strictly for marketing purposes.  Obsidian is formed from rapidly-cooling lava after a volcanic eruption.  The bands of color are due to differing amounts of micro-crystallinity as each layer hardens.  All Obsidians are grounding and encourage truthfulness.  Platinum Obsidian is particularly good for tact and efficiency.  It’s not enough to just know the truth, we have to know how to express it and act upon it.  It is a wonderful […]

    Thank you for choosing the Platinum Obsidian with two eyes, a light eye and a dark eye, for me. When I hold it I find myself asking both eyes to help me see and understand what is going on. The silvery bands are every bit as distinct as in the photo but more beautiful because there is also a softness, most of them blend gently where they meet. Before it arrived I read your description and wondered how in the world an Obsidian would be diplomatic and good for team-building. Now I know. Though its energy feels different from Apache Tear, like Apache Tear this Obsidian has a wonderful gentleness.

    The bands on the Platinum Obsidian are a little less silvery than I expected, but it’s still quite lovely and you nailed the Sagittarian energy I requested. Overall very nice editions, I’m quite pleased with my purchase.
