Obsidian is glass made by a volcano, when lava cools so fast it never has time to form crystals.

Polished into beads, it comes in a few looks. Gold sheen obsidian flashes a warm golden shimmer when it catches light. Snowflake obsidian is black with soft white flower-like spots, and there's also a plain black chip version and a faceted gold sheen bead.

Obsidian is traditionally linked with protection, grounding and focus. It's an easy everyday bracelet, especially for people who like black jewellery. The gold sheen version looks almost like it's lit from inside when you move.

How to use it

• Wear it on busy days to feel grounded
• Stack it with selenite for contrast
• Try the gold sheen in sunlight
• Pick snowflake for a softer look

Care: Obsidian is glass, so store it apart from other jewellery and avoid knocking it on hard surfaces.
