Rainbow Obsidian Necklaces

These necklaces feature rainbow obsidian cabs presented in a rectangular shape. With the right amount of light, you can catch the subtle rainbow glistening along the surface. Each pendant measures 15mm x 30mm, which includes the silver bail. They are wrapped in a sterling silver wire that has been oxidized to bring out its rope like texture. They also show off different color patterns. In this listing, you may choose between two different pendants with or without the chains. The pendant that reveals a lot of purple in the stone is paired with a glass, beaded chain of purple and silver. The length is 16 1/2" adjustable up to 18 1/2".  The pendant revealing more blue is paired with an oxidized, sterling silver, rope chain with a length of 18" adjustable up to 20". 

History and Metaphysical Properties:

Obsidian is a type of volcanic glass. The sheen is caused by tiny gas bubbles that have been trapped in the glass. Metaphysically, it acts as a powerful cleanser of "psychic smog" within your aura. It acts as a stone of protection, shielding you from negativity and eliminating stress and tension. Obsidian urges exploration and clears confusion. It promotes compassion and strength. Obsidian also aids digestion, detoxifies, and reduces arthritis pain, joint problems and cramps. This form of obsidian gets its magical sheen from water vapor bubbles that are trapped during the formation process, before the lava solidifies. These bubbles stretch during that process and create the gold patterns you see on the stone.
