Garnet can be found in the United States, South America, Madagascar, Africa, Russia, Pakistan, and India. According to some legends, Garnets are among the most ancient amulets, once worn by Egyptian pharaohs and considered powerful symbols of life. Revered across many cultures, Garnets were used not only in jewelry, but also in abrasives, and even for protection against the plague. Remarkably, they were at times fashioned into bullets, believed to carry mystical power.
 
Silver Sheen Obsidian is a rare and mesmerizing variety of volcanic glass, most commonly found in Mexico. Its signature metallic shimmer is caused by tiny water vapor bubbles trapped as lava rapidly cools, creating a smooth, reflective surface with an iridescent glow.
 
Historically valued by Aztec and Mayan civilizations for tools and spiritual use, it continues to be prized today for both its beauty and metaphysical properties. Thought to offer grounding, protection, and enhanced intuition, Silver Sheen Obsidian is a powerful stone for those seeking clarity and new opportunities.
