Description from the seller
This heart-shaped pendant houses a gem of rare allure: rainbow obsidian, originating from the volcanic regions of Mexico. It is a special variety of obsidian, a natural volcanic glass formed over a thousand years ago from the rapid cooling of lava. Its uniqueness lies in the concentric iridescent bands, which range from green to purple, with golden and violet hues. These play of lights are caused by tiny mineral inclusions and internal structural variations, capable of creating shifting reflections that emerge especially under direct light sources. Obsidian, known and used since ancient times for making razor-sharp blades and ritual ornaments, was considered a sacred stone by Mesoamerican civilizations, linked to the power of the sun and spiritual protection. In this rainbow variant, the charm is amplified: the gem seems to contain a cosmic landscape, with a luminous heart that lights up at the center of the stone. The 925 silver setting encircles the gem, enhancing its natural details and transforming the mineral into an elegant, contemporary piece of jewelry.
