Gold sheen obsidian looks like plain black glass at first, until it's turned at the right angle and a metallic gold shimmer moves across the surface like something lit from underneath. It's a stone for the part of a situation you can only see once you shift your angle on it, the insight that doesn't show up while you're looking straight on. Useful for a decision that needs a second look rather than a first reaction. Turn it slowly in your hand while you think through something that isn't adding up yet, or keep it on a desk as a reminder to look again before you settle on an answer. The gold sheen comes from rows of tiny gas bubbles trapped in the volcanic glass as it cooled, aligned closely enough to catch and reflect light. This piece is polished into a smooth tumble. You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you. A shimmer that only shows up once you turn it.
Very pretty. Great quality. I just wish they were slightly bigger. One of of the 4 I received was really small. However, they are very nice-looking stones.
