Mexican Gold-Sheen Obsidian: The Mirror of Self

A Sacred History of Fire & Shadow

Born from the volcanic fires of Mexico, Gold-Sheen Obsidian has been revered since ancient times as a stone of truth and spiritual protection. The Aztecs crafted it into ritual blades and scrying mirrors, believing its reflective surface revealed hidden knowledge. Today, this rare obsidian variety—with its golden shimmer—remains a powerful tool for shadow work and energetic cleansing.
