Description
There is something ancient about an arrowhead. This one is raw black obsidian, volcanic glass formed in an instant of geological violence, shaped into a point and then slowly encased in copper through electroforming. The result is a pendant that feels like it has always existed. For the person who wants to carry something real.
Obsidian is associated with protection, grounding, and truth. Scorpio and Sagittarius birthstone. Wear it when you need to feel anchored and clear.
Why Obsidian
Obsidian is volcanic glass, formed when lava cools so rapidly that crystals have no time to grow. The result is a stone that is simultaneously ancient and razor-sharp, with a glassy conchoidal fracture that catches light in dramatic planes. Black obsidian has been used as a protective talisman across cultures for thousands of years. Scorpio and Sagittarius birthstone. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful stone with a meaning that fits real life.

How This Handmade Obsidian Necklace Is Made
Each pendant begins with hand-selecting a raw obsidian arrowhead for shape, surface quality, and character. The stone is then electroformed, a process where copper is slowly deposited around the stone through an electrical current, growing organically around the edges rather than being pressed or cast. The copper is then oxidized to a deep antique finish, with warm highlights on the raised areas. No two pendants are identical. One of a kind.
A Note on Stone Variation
Raw obsidian varies naturally in surface texture, fracture pattern, and the way light plays across the glassy surface. Your pendant will be similar in character to the photos but unique to your stone.
Care
Obsidian is volcanic glass, avoid hard impacts that could chip the edges. Remove before vigorous activity. Copper will develop a natural patina over time; the antique finish is intentional and will continue to evolve with wear. Store dry.
