About Silver Sheen Obsidian  –

 

Sheen Obsidian is black volcanic glass that shows a golden or silvery shimmer when turned in the light. When polished it can look almost like a mirror.

 

It forms when silica-rich lava cools too fast for crystals to grow, trapping tiny lined-up gas bubbles that create the sheen.
