NATURAL OBSIDIAN PALM STONE HAND POLISHED 6x4x1.5 cm
Artisan piece of 100 percent natural obsidian, hand polished to a deep mirror shine, in the classic soap shape, also known as palm stone or hand stone. It is an oval and rounded piece, comfortable to hold in the palm, with dimensions of 6 by 4 by 1.5 cm, ideal both for collection and display and for decoration, meditation and relaxation practices. Important: the name soap refers only to its polished and ergonomic shape, not to the mineral soapstone; this piece is genuine obsidian, a natural volcanic glass.
Obsidian is a natural 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 and a density close to 2.4, it is a noble and durable material that, once polished, shows a smooth surface, cool to the touch and with an intense reflection. In this piece the deep and uniform black color typical of black obsidian can be appreciated, with that mirror finish that can only be achieved with careful and patient polishing.
Being 100 percent natural, this piece has not been dyed, heated or artificially treated: the color and shine are those of the original volcanic material. The hand polishing enhances the depth of the black and the softness of the curves, making each piece slightly unique in its nuances and exact shape. Its size of 6 by 4 by 1.5 cm makes it a very pleasant hand stone 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.
It is a perfect selection for collectors of minerals and volcanic glass, for those looking for quality artisan polished pieces, and for those who value obsidian for its sober beauty and presence. You receive exactly the piece shown in the photographs, hand polished and ready to display or gift.
