Black Obsidian begins as volcanic glass: lava cooled so quickly that a dark, mirrorlike body formed before visible crystals could grow.Its archive turns toward John Dee, the Renaissance scholar whose world joined astronomy, astrology and polished black instruments for reflection.For Scorpio, the symbolism rests in quiet depth and deliberate focus: a polished surface that asks the eye to look steadily before it decides.

Carry Stones

Made to move with you each day, these Black Obsidian pieces keep a dark mirror close to the body: polished, restrained and quietly exact.

Homecoming Stones

Placed in the rooms you return to, Black Obsidian becomes a raw volcanic object: dark, glassy and materially grounded.

Material Note

Raw material procurement: May 12, 2026. Pieces in this Black Obsidian collection are selected from one matched origin lot; black tone, internal texture, translucency, surface reflection and polish depth may vary slightly as cut, size, shape, optical direction, setting structure and polish change from object to object.

Processing record: August 28–September 1, 2026. Raw stone, geode, cluster or other home forms preserve more natural outline and surface structure, so they can read differently from finished jewelry while still belonging to the same origin material.
