Golden-Sheen Obsidian Palm Stone 152 GM

Overview
The Golden Sheen Obsidian Palm Stone is a smooth, polished volcanic glass crystal displaying a striking golden glow that appears under light. This luminous sheen is created by microscopic gas bubble inclusions formed during rapid volcanic cooling, giving the stone its signature reflective effect and depth.

Designed to rest comfortably in the hand, palm stones—also known as worry stones—are used in mindfulness and crystal practices to encourage calmness, focus, and grounding. Holding and gently rubbing the stone can help ease anxious thoughts, promote mental clarity, and create a soothing tactile experience.

Weighing approximately 152 grams, this piece has a substantial, grounding feel that makes it ideal for meditation, relaxation, and energetic work.

Geological Origin & Composition
Golden Sheen Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when silica-rich lava cools extremely quickly. The stone’s metallic golden flash is caused by aligned gas bubbles and mineral inclusions trapped within the obsidian during formation.

Unlike crystalline minerals, obsidian has an amorphous structure, giving it its smooth texture, sharp reflectivity, and glass-like polish.
