Golden Sheen Obsidian is a lightweight, shiny black gemstone created when a volcanic flow is cooled very quickly, into what Geologists call volcanic glass. Obsidian is formed when volcanic lava comes into contact with water, cooling the lava quickly. This produces a glassy texture sometimes containing small bubbles of air that are aligned along layers during the cooling process. These bubbles can produce interesting effects such as the golden sheen you see here, known as Sheen Obsidian.
