Obsidian is a very powerful stone. It brings truth to the surface and allows you to see clearly. It contains strong protective qualities, and blocks or absorbs negativity from all sources.
Snowflake Obsidian is one of the gentle obsidians and is often worn to put oneself in a receptive state of mind to balance body, mind and spirit.
With its glassy luster, obsidian is a distinctive stone. Obsidian is formed as lava from volcanic eruptions cools within the earth. The speed at which it cools prevents crystallization and the rock forms as solid volcanic glass.
Although its most common color is black, obsidian can also be found in light brown, brown mottled with black, and black with a beautiful golden or silvery sheen. Snowflake obsidian is dotted with white patches where parts of the rock have begun to crystallize. The most prized obsidian by gemologists is the rainbow obsidian variety with purple, green and gold bands of sheen. Obsidian was revered by ancient cultures. It was one of the major barter materials, and prized for its ability to be worked to razor-sharp edges for arrows and spears. It has been used since prehistoric times for making tools, masks, weapons, mirrors and jewelry.
Healing properties of Obsidian
Obsidian helps to protect the very sensitive against depression. It is the stone of the soft hearted and gentle people of the world. Use obsidian to help block negativity of any kind. As a black gemstone, it symbolizes self control and resilience. Black stones have protective energies in the sense that black is the absence of light, and therefore, can be used to create invisibility.

Sources of Obsidian
Obsidian can be found anywhere that volcanic activity has occurred. Some of its important sources today are South America, Japan, Mexico, Afghanistan, and parts of the United States. The San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona, United States, produces an interesting banded variety of obsidian known as "Apache Tears".

The materials used to make my jewelry is of good quality. I am not a fan of base metals and fancy plastic findings. I do not use this type of material in most of my jewelry pieces, and insist on precious metals such as sterling silver and gold for earrings, rings, and my higher end bracelets. Gemstones used in my jewelry pieces are natural, and not lab created except for Cubic Zirconia's. CZ's are an exception to the rule because of their incredible sparkle and durability.
Beaded Bookmarks are made with natural gemstone beads but findings (charms, crimp beads, and wire) are made with base metals to keep the final price down.
Memory Wire bracelets are made with natural gemstone beads strung on Stainless Steel Memory Wire, accented with silver plated beads or charms, and contain some base metal head or eye pins. The purpose is to keep the cost down, and make them more affordable to the consumer.
