Beautiful, very nicely speckled flake obsidian, originally from Mexico, cabochon; original hand cut, cut here (not very suitable for drilling, it splinters, if you want to drill it, expect a chipped hole)

Flake obsidian is a classic volcanic igneous glass. Each of the solidified layers has a slightly different composition, and the temperature changes and the mixing of molten impurities during solidification also create beautiful specks.

Obsidians have been considered mystical stones since ancient times and rightly so, for example, ritual knives were and are still made from black obsidian. One of the reasons for their popularity among shamans is their volcanic origin. Their energy is strong, protective and also quite heavy. Platinum obsidian is lighter due to its stripes and has a kind of systematicity. It is therefore suitable for all chaotic people. It is not a fairy stone, but if you have a person around you who deprives you of energy, wearing obsidian is very effective, and it is also pleasantly manageable and the flaky appearance softens its effect.
