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. This freeform, at 803g, is no small thing: deep black, highly polished, and in the middle of it all, that warm, golden glow – like sparks trapped inside the stone. The effects of Gold Obsidian are traditionally especially valued for energetic protection, warding off 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 spot on a desk or sideboard, where it can make its full visual and energetic impact. The Aztecs, by the way, used obsidian for ceremonies and as scrying mirrors – 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 sheen develop?
Gold Obsidian is a rare variety of volcanic obsidian that owes its characteristic golden luster – the so-called gold sheen or chatoyance – to tiny inclusions of hematite or magnetite platelets that aligned during the cooling of the lava. These microscopically fine layers reflect light in a very special way, creating this warm, metallic-looking glow that shifts and changes depending on the light. Mineralogically, obsidian belongs to the natural glasses and has a Mohs hardness of about 5 to 5.5. The most beautiful finds come from Mexico, where volcanic activity over millennia has produced unique qualities.
How do I properly care for my Gold Obsidian?
Gold Obsidian can be briefly rinsed with lukewarm water – a quick wipe is sufficient, prolonged soaking is not necessary and should be avoided. Direct sunlight for extended periods can dull the polished surface in the long run, so it's better to keep it in partial shade. Moonlight is wonderful for energetic charging – simply place it on a windowsill overnight, preferably during a full moon. Alternatively, you can place it on a selenite disc or smudge it with Palo Santo or sage. For transport or storage, we recommend a soft cloth, as obsidian, with its Mohs hardness of 5 to 5.5, is more susceptible to harder minerals.
How do I recognize real Gold Obsidian?
Real Gold Obsidian pieces show their golden sheen only from certain angles – it moves as you turn the stone and almost disappears in other positions. That is the surest sign of authenticity! Fake or inferior variants often show a uniform, all-over sheen that does not change – that is a warning sign. Sometimes black-dyed glass is sold as obsidian on the market; real 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 wealth, protection, and personal strength. A large freeform like this is ideal for the entrance area or office – it is said to intercept negative energies before they enter the room, while also supporting the energy of abundance and success. It is best placed in the southeast corner of your room (Feng Shui area for prosperity) or directly on your desk to your left. Its imposing size of 17 x 12 cm makes it a true energy anchor that also has an immediate visual impact.
