Gold Sheen Obsidian Snake Carving

A beautifully carved snake sculpted from natural gold sheen obsidian, with a deep black surface that catches flashes of warm golden light as it moves.

Curled into an elegant, winding form, this little snake has an almost hypnotic quality. The detailed scales follow the curves of the body, while the polished surface allows the natural gold sheen of the obsidian to reveal itself across the carving.

Snakes have long been associated with transformation, renewal, wisdom and shedding what no longer serves us — making this a particularly fitting piece for an altar, spiritual space or simply somewhere you can admire its unusual beauty.

Gold sheen obsidian is traditionally associated with ambition, personal power and manifestation. It is said to illuminate the path forward, awaken a sense of purpose and help align one’s actions with their deepest intentions — a powerful stone for those seeking clarity, confidence and positive change.

Please note: Gold sheen obsidian is a natural volcanic glass, and the intensity and placement of the gold sheen will vary throughout the stone. Each carving will have its own natural markings and variations.
