Obsidian is a glassy, silica-rich volcanic rock. It is an amorphous stone, meaning that its structure contains no regular geometric pattern. Because it breaks with a very sharp conchoidal fracture.
Obsidian is most frequently black or very dark brown, but it can also be gray or green. In addition, various sheens, color variations, markings and undertones of color make for an array of different types of Obsidian. The most prominent of these are Black, Snowflake, Mahogany, Rainbow, Peacock, Gold and Silver Sheen. The distinctive "sheen" seen in Gold and Silver Sheen Obsidian is due to the presence of microscopic gas bubbles trapped within the glass. These bubbles create a unique iridescence as light reflects off the surface, giving the stone its characteristic shimmer. At proper angles has sparkling chatoyance play across the stone. These stones, like the other varieties of Obsidian are good for clearing negative energies and purifying one's auric field. It can assist those who are very psychically or emotionally sensitive to maintain the integrity of their energy fields.
Black Obsidian is a powerful emotional teacher. The gold sheen will lead one to an understanding and acceptance of the darker side of one’s nature, so that aspect can be evolved and illuminated. The silver glow is like a mirror, reflecting the truth and helping you see through illusions. Both can assist in breaking negative emotionally based patterns.
