The stone is completely natural and not treated in anyway. The obsidian is from Jalisco, Mexico. In nahuatl—the language of the Aztecs—obsidian was know as itztli, which meant “divine stone”. Obsidian blades are some of the sharpest blades known to man, obsidian scalpels to this day are

coveted as the finest blades for surgery. Obsidian is not a mineral, but a mineraloid. It is more closely associated with glass, and is formed, much like glass, by the rapid cooling of viscous, silica-rich lava.

Obsidian is found all over the world and all over Mexico. The third largest known deposit on the planet is located around the Tequila mountains just outside of Guadalajara. Obsidian has been used in an esoteric sense through scrying and divination. Black obsidian is a powerful grounding stone, and is said to absorb negative energy and help you activate your instinctual root chakra. Rainbow obsidian brings love and happiness to life and relationships. Gold obsidian is for joy and fulfillment. Silver obsidian is for clarity and insight.

There are many colors of obsidian. As with all other stones, colors mean there are impurities in the chemical make-up of the mineral, therefore black obsidian can be considered the purest. But pure is often boring, and it is obsidian's imperfections that bring it to the level of art and jewelry. Inclusions of different elements such as rubidium, lanthanum, and even regular old iron, dance with trapped gas bubbles and light to cause a literal rainbow of iridescent colors, including blue, gray, red, brown, green, gold, silver, and a mixture of all of them, which is aptly deemed “rainbow obsidian”.

Copper is the metal of Venus, the planet of love. This essential metal is known to help purify the body of

toxins. It is also said to help with arthritis and joint problems.
