About Gold Sheen Obsidian

Gold Sheen Obsidian is a rare and striking variety of Obsidian — a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed from rapidly cooled felsic lava. What distinguishes this form is the stunning golden shimmer across its surface, caused by gas bubbles and trace mineral inclusions (primarily magnetite) that aligned as the lava cooled. This optical effect, known as chatoyancy or “sheen,” gives the stone a metallic, golden flash when viewed from different angles.

Like other Obsidian, Gold Sheen Obsidian is an amorphous (non-crystalline) mineraloid with high silica content (around 70%+). It has a vitreous to metallic lustre and ranks about 5–5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Its mirror-like surface is often used for scrying, meditation, and energy shielding.

Gold Sheen Obsidian is primarily found in regions with volcanic activity, especially Mexico, which produces some of the highest-quality specimens. Smaller deposits also exist in the United States (Oregon, California), Guatemala, and El Salvador.

Healing with Gold Sheen Obsidian

♥ Empowerment ♥ Insight ♥ Protection ♥ Personal Power ♥ Manifestation ♥ Confidence ♥ Energy Shielding ♥ Shadow Work ♥ Divine Masculine

Gold Sheen Obsidian is a crystal of empowerment, clarity, and spiritual insight. Where traditional Black Obsidian works deeply with the shadow self, Gold Sheen brings light into those shadows — helping to reveal hidden talents, root causes of limitation, and untapped sources of personal power.

Closely connected to the Solar Plexus Chakra, this stone supports the development of willpower, self-confidence, and energetic integrity. It strengthens your aura against negativity while encouraging action aligned with your highest truth. Those who feel overlooked, disempowered, or energetically drained often benefit from its bold, invigorating frequency.

Gold Sheen Obsidian is also a powerful truth-teller. It shows you where you may be sabotaging yourself or living in illusion, yet it does so with a golden warmth — not harshness. It encourages self-reflection, accountability, and goal-setting, helping you reclaim your sovereignty.

Energetically, it offers strong psychic protection. It shields against manipulation, energy vampires, and toxic environments, making it ideal for sensitive individuals or energy workers. Its reflective quality repels negativity while helping you stay grounded in clarity and intention.

Emotionally, Gold Sheen Obsidian offers a stabilising force. It is especially helpful for those recovering from emotional abuse, self-doubt, or patterns of codependency. By reconnecting you to your inner strength, it fosters self-reliance, discernment, and courage.

Spiritually, this stone enhances intuition and spiritual insight, but unlike higher chakra stones, it keeps your insight grounded in real-world action. It bridges the spiritual and the practical, making it an excellent tool for manifestation, ritual work, and setting empowered intentions.

Gold Sheen Obsidian also helps balance the divine masculine aspect of energy — encouraging healthy leadership, structured thinking, and action without aggression.

In manifestation work, Gold Sheen Obsidian is used to clear limiting beliefs and align intentions with authentic purpose. It’s especially potent for manifesting goals related to career, leadership, abundance, and personal empowerment. The golden shimmer within the stone acts as a visual reminder of your own potential and inner fire, helping you see opportunities where you once saw obstacles.

It also serves as a spiritual anchor during rituals or visualisation practices. By reinforcing focus and willpower, Gold Sheen Obsidian empowers you to direct your energy more effectively, translating dreams into action. It enhances your ability to hold space for transformation without being overwhelmed by external distractions or inner doubts.

This stone is frequently incorporated into crystal grids, placed on vision boards, or added to sacred altars as a symbolic and energetic reinforcement of one’s intentions. It connects deeply with the Earth while channelling solar power — a rare combination that grounds spiritual aspirations in reality, making it an essential ally for long-term manifestation and energetic stamina.

Gold Sheen Obsidian is thought to stimulate the digestive system, liver, and solar plexus region — areas tied to confidence, metabolism, and detoxification. It may also help alleviate tension, especially if stress is related to emotional repression or energetic overload.

Practitioners often place it on the abdomen during healing sessions to relieve energetic stagnation, support adrenal balance, and promote emotional release held in the gut (our "second brain").

Due to its grounding and shielding qualities, it's often used to support nervous system regulation, making it a valuable stone for those with anxiety, PTSD, or stress-related fatigue.
