Kidz Rocks Gray Stripe Obsidian 5" 1-2 lb Raw Chakra Healing Crystal Rock Mineral Specimen

Top quality light and dark stripped Davis Creek obsidian. These make beautiful cut and polished cabochons with different patterns depending on which way you cut the stone. I have included a photo of what the material looks like when it is cut into a slice for making lapidary cabochons or other cut and polished pieces.

The obsidian deposits of Davis Creek, California are the gemstones of obsidian and world famous. In 2018, the US Forest Service shut down all mining at Davis Creek. The only way to get this material is if you are friends with the guy that was mining at Davis Creek for 40 years. He has a stockpile he mined before the location was shut down.

You will receive the one specimen from the lot shown in the photos that is 4 inch to 6 inch and weighing 1 pound to 2 pounds.

Healing Properties
Rainbow Obsidian also called Heaven Eye; a black or deep brown Obsidian displaying iridescent bands of red, blue, gold, violet and/or green when polished and exposed to bright light. Rainbow Obsidian is gentler than Black Obsidian, with strong protective properties. It is an excellent tool for facilitating a purposeful search of one's psyche to find the root causes of emotional traumas and distresses, and to cut ties with the past. It is ideal for dissolving outmoded genetic patterns and karma, severing the cords of old love, and releasing hooks that others have left in the heart.

Rainbow Obsidian brings hope, illumination and energy into the most blocked and stagnant areas of the emotional body, and grounds spiritual Light into the aura and physical body. It is a great support for alleviating depression, mood swings, despair, or paralyzing fears. Rainbow Obsidian helps to cleanse and align all chakras, and worn as a pendant absorbs negative energy from the aura, drawing off pain and stress from the physical body.

Mineral Description
Rainbow Obsidian usually looks quite black but when polished and exposed to a strong light, it shows bands of beautiful rainbow colors. The color layers are caused by refraction of microscopic bubbles and inclusions such as magnetite.

Obsidian is an igneous rock that forms when molten rock material cools so rapidly that atoms are unable to arrange themselves into a crystalline structure. It is an amorphous material known as a mineraloid. The result is a volcanic glass with a smooth uniform texture that breaks with a conchoidal fracture.

The conchoidal fracture of obsidian causes it to break into pieces with curved surfaces. This type of fracturing can produce rock fragments with very sharp edges. These sharp fragments may have prompted the first use of obsidian by people to make knives and arrowheads.
