Snowflake Obsidian Magic Sacks

Obsidian is a naturally-occurring volcanic glass. It is formed when lava cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth.
Obsidian gets its name from a mistranslation of Natural History by Pliny the Elder.
Snowflake Obsidian, sometimes called "flowering obsidian" is a type of obsidian with grey to white spherulites, spotted or snowflake-like patterns caused by inclusions of the mineral cristobalite, a silica (quartz) mineral.

Snowflake Obsidian is a stone of balance.
Black Obsidian has been an important stone of truth-seeking and protection since ancient times, as it was used to create both weapons and mirrors.
In addition to these properties, Snowflake Obsidian, with its patterns, allows one to see the patterns in their own thoughts and behaviors that are throwing things out of balance or causing them danger. Snowflake Obsidian takes on the uncomfortable truths, the trauma, and the negativity we have gathered around us and protects us to allow us to heal.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
