Natural Velvet Rainbow Obsidian – Magdalena, Jalisco, Mexico

Velvet Obsidian is a distinctive and less commonly encountered variety of iridescent obsidian, prized by collectors for its soft, silky appearance and subtle flowing bands of blue, green, and golden color. Unlike more vividly colored Rainbow Obsidian, its delicate, velvety shimmer creates an understated elegance that becomes visible under directional lighting.
