So, I recently got into this whole crystal thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started with a simple rose quartz, but then I stumbled upon something called “Gold Sheen Obsidian,” and I was like, “What’s that all about?” I mean, the name itself sounds fancy, right?

I did some digging, you know, the usual internet rabbit hole. Apparently, it’s a type of volcanic glass, formed when lava cools down super fast. But unlike regular obsidian, which is just plain black, this one’s got some golden shimmer to it. It’s like someone sprinkled gold dust inside the stone. Pretty cool, huh?
Anyway, I got my hands on a piece. It was heavier than I expected, smooth and cool to the touch. Holding it in my hand, I felt… different. It’s hard to explain. Like, a little calmer, a little more grounded. I started carrying it around with me, in my pocket, in my bag, wherever I went.
They say it’s supposed to be a protective stone, shielding you from bad vibes and negativity. I wasn’t really sure about that stuff at first. But then, some weird things started happening. I had a couple of situations at work that were super stressful, the kind where you just want to scream and pull your hair out. But I found myself handling them with this weird sense of calm. It was like, “Okay, this sucks, but I got this.”
I also started noticing little things, like I was more aware of my surroundings. It was like my intuition got a boost or something. I even had a couple of dreams that felt really significant, like they were trying to tell me something. I started writing them down in a little notebook I keep by my bed.
- Started carrying the Gold Sheen Obsidian daily.
- Felt a sense of calm during stressful situations.
- Noticed an increase in intuition and awareness.
- Experienced vivid and meaningful dreams.
Digging Deeper
I got curious about what else this stone could do. I read that it’s supposed to help you connect with your inner self and discover your hidden talents. I’ve always been kind of creative, but I never really pursued anything seriously. But after a few weeks with the Gold Sheen Obsidian, I felt this urge to start drawing again. It was like a little spark that had been dormant for years, and suddenly it was back.

I’m not saying this stone is magical or anything. But it’s definitely helped me to pay more attention to myself, to my feelings, and to what I really want. It’s like it’s given me a little nudge in the right direction. I’m still figuring things out, but it’s been a pretty interesting journey so far. I even found a use for it I hadn’t thought of before. The smooth surface of the Gold Sheen Obsidian worked surprisingly well as a makeshift mirror when I needed to check my appearance on the go!
And I’ve found that it’s really helped me deal with some tough times. I had a close friend going through a really rough patch, and I felt kind of helpless. But having the stone with me, it was like it gave me a sense of strength and support, not just for myself, but also to be there for my friend. They say that this kind of stone can help in times of grief and sadness. I don’t know if it’s the stone itself, or just having something to hold onto, but it did seem to help. It’s been like having a silent, supportive companion during tough times.
So yeah, that’s my Gold Sheen Obsidian story. It’s not about miracles or magic, but about finding a little something that helps you along the way. It’s like a little reminder to stay grounded, to trust your gut, and to keep exploring, both the world around you and the world within you.
