Sheen Obsidian Branch Ring

This eye catching statement ring features sheen obsidian set in a raw, textured, brass band with branch like prongs surrounding the stone. This design measures 20mm x 25mm and has a height of about 8mm from the base of the ring shank. This ring is adjustable in size, but fits best at sizes 8-11. Care instructions: Raw brass has no plating. The metal can tarnish over time, but can also be polished much like silver with a polishing cloth or Brasso. History and Metaphysical Properties: Obsidian is a type of volcanic glass. The sheen is caused by tiny gas bubbles that have been trapped in the glass. Metaphysically, it acts as a powerful cleanser of "psychic smog" within your aura. It acts as a stone of protection, shielding you from negativity and eliminating stress and tension. Obsidian urges exploration and clears confusion. It promotes compassion and strength. Obsidian also aids digestion, detoxifies, and reduces arthritis pain, joint problems and cramps. This form of obsidian gets its magical sheen from water vapor bubbles that are trapped during the formation process, before the lava solidifies. These bubbles stretch during that process and create the gold patterns you see on the stone.
