🌫️🖤 Silver Sheen Obsidian – The Stone of Gentle Clarity

Silver Sheen Obsidian is a striking black volcanic glass with shimmering silver-grey chatoyance, often sourced from the Lake Taupo area in New Zealand. Like all obsidian, it is technically a hyper-viscous liquid frozen in time, combining grounding strength with fluid, reflective energy. The silver sheen adds a calming, subtle illumination, encouraging clarity, insight, and inner balance.

At Crystillery, we honor Silver Sheen Obsidian as a stone that gently reveals hidden truths while providing protective grounding. Its soft, reflective shimmer supports self-reflection, emotional stability, and alignment with higher guidance.

Spiritually, Silver Sheen Obsidian is believed to:

• Shield and ground the wearer while promoting inner clarity
• Encourage self-reflection and emotional healing
• Support calm decision-making and mindful action
• Reveal hidden patterns and facilitate personal growth
• Align the wearer with subtle spiritual insight and intuition

Silver Sheen Obsidian is a reminder that clarity and calm can shine even in dark times, gently guiding the way toward balance and understanding.

💚 Grossular Garnet – The Stone of Abundant Renewal

Grossular Garnet, sometimes called Hydrogrossular, is a beautiful green form of garnet that carries the energy of fresh growth and renewal. Found in the Nelson district of New Zealand, it embodies the spirit of the land itself — fertile, restorative, and deeply grounding. Its gentle yet powerful vibration balances vitality with calm, helping one to flourish with steadiness.

At Crystillery, we treasure Grossular Garnet as a stone of abundance, health, and wholeness. Unlike the fiery intensity of red garnets, Grossular’s green tones harmonize with nature’s rhythms, reminding us that true strength is often quiet, steady, and deeply rooted.

Spiritually, Grossular Garnet is believed to:

• Encourage prosperity, growth, and abundance in all forms
• Strengthen connection to the heart chakra, bringing peace and emotional balance
• Support healing, vitality, and recovery after challenges
• Ground one into the wisdom of nature and the earth
• Promote cooperation and harmony in community and relationships

Grossular Garnet is a stone of life’s gentle renewal — a reminder that we can thrive with patience, grace, and balance.
