The lore

Black, golden, mahogany and snowflake are the maker-listed obsidian varieties gathered here. In this reading, their differences become ways of thinking about protection: quiet, warmth, a glint of resolve, or a pattern that interrupts the dark.

Working with it

Choose one boundary you can act on today. Touch a bead before answering a request, and give yourself time to decide.

Care & keeping

Wipe gently with a soft cloth and store separately. Follow the maker's instructions for the complete piece, including its finish, treatments, elastic or setting. Avoid soaking, abrasives, steam and ultrasonic cleaning unless the maker confirms they are suitable.
