100% NATURAL HAND POLISHED OBSIDIAN PALM STONE 6x4x2 cm - INDIVIDUAL PIECE
Individual piece of 100 percent natural obsidian, hand polished to a deep mirror shine, in the classic soap shape, also called palm stone or hand stone. It is an oval, rounded piece, comfortable to hold in the palm, with dimensions of 6 by 4 by 2 cm, a size ideal both for collection and display and for decoration, meditation and moments of relaxation. This listing corresponds to 1 piece; we have 5 units available in stock, all of the same type, quality and size. Important clarification: the name soap refers only to the polished and ergonomic shape, not to the mineral soapstone; this piece is genuine obsidian, a natural volcanic glass.
What makes this piece special is its visual pattern: it is not uniform black obsidian, but obsidian with an attractive gray-silver banding, known as silver sheen effect or flow banding, formed by fine bands and veins of gray and silver tones that flow over the dark background following the original movement of the lava as it cooled. That banding, combined with the hand polishing, gives the piece a unique design and an elegant reflection that changes with the light. Being 100 percent natural, the piece has not been dyed, heated or treated: the color, the banding and the shine are those of the original volcanic glass. Since each stone forms naturally, the silver pattern varies slightly from one unit to another, so the 5 pieces in stock are similar in quality and size but each one keeps its own unrepeatable design.
Obsidian is a volcanic glass of siliceous composition, formed by the rapid cooling of lava rich in silicon dioxide, which is why it lacks a crystalline structure and shows a conchoidal fracture and a very characteristic vitreous luster, with an approximate hardness of 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale. Once polished it shows a smooth surface, cool to the touch and with intense reflection, qualities that are clearly appreciated in this piece. Its oval shape and its 2 cm thickness make it very pleasant to keep on the desk, in a showcase or to hold in the palm during moments of calm, and it also works as an elegant and minimalist decorative object or as a gift with presence.
It is a perfect selection for collectors of volcanic glass, for those looking for artisan quality polished pieces with a distinctive pattern, and for those who value obsidian for its sober beauty. You receive 1 piece of hand polished obsidian with gray-silver banding, of the same characteristics, quality and size as shown in the photographs (6 by 4 by 2 cm); the exact silver pattern may vary slightly because it is natural material polished by hand.
