Red Obsidian Pabda

Red Sheen Obsidian combines the reddish coloring of Mahogany Obsidian with the iridescent glitter of Gold Sheen Obsidian. It is very rare, but worth seeking out.  Like other Obsidians, it is formed from  rapidly cooling lava following a volcanic eruption.  Most Red Sheen comes from the volcanic field of Black Rock Desert, Utah in the western United States.
It is an empowering stone that awakens our hidden talents and best qualities. Red Sheen Obsidian is a stone of Truth, bluntly revealing to us what is real and what is false, without pretense or apology. It can help us to “wake up” and to understand what is really happening in the world around us, and to face that reality without fear or denial. It invites us to rise up to any challenge, and to make a positive difference in whatever way we are most able. Red Sheen Obsidian helps us to balance our male/female energies and to know when to be fierce and when to be gentle. It invites us to live life more fully alive, and to not waste a single moment of this precious gift.
Red Sheen Obsidian sharpens our intellect and encourages us to see through our own biases. It asks us to ignore the smokescreens that may be used to distract us from the truth, and instead to dare to “pay attention to the man behind the curtain” and understand what is really going on.
