This silver sheen obsidian sphere looks black at first glance. Then you turn it, and soft silver rings bloom across the surface, rippling out like light on dark water. It’s a piece that rewards slow, quiet attention.

The sphere alone measures 90mm across and weighs 948g, a real weight in both hands. It comes on an ornate silver finish stand with a sculpted feather design, which lifts the sphere up so it becomes the centrepiece of an altar or shelf.

What silver sheen obsidian brings

Protection. One of the most loved stones for guarding your space and your energy.
Grounding. Helps bring you back into your body when life feels scattered.
Reflection. Traditionally used as a gazing stone, a quiet focus for looking inward.
Shadow work. A steady companion when facing the harder parts of yourself.
Samhain. A natural stone for the dark half of the year, ancestor work and the thinning of the veil.

Obsidian is traditionally linked with the root chakra, the element of earth, and the signs of Scorpio and Capricorn.

A little history

Obsidian is natural volcanic glass, and people have polished it into mirrors for thousands of years. One of the most famous is the obsidian mirror used by the Elizabethan scholar John Dee, which is now held at the British Museum.

Caring for your silver sheen obsidian sphere

Obsidian is glass, so it can chip or crack if it’s dropped or knocked. Keep it on its stand, away from the edge of shelves, and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Sound, breath or moonlight are gentle ways to cleanse it.
