#gold sheen obsidian

[reddpenn]

I like obsidian a LOT. I like the cutting edge, and how it looks knapped. I like the shine, and the weird sorta-glass-like appearance. It is a cool rock, in my opinion. What are your thoughts?

Obsidian is very cool! Here is one of my favorite pieces.

Video transcript:

This is the best piece of obsidian in my collection. This is a piece of gold sheen obsidian. And they call it "gold sheen" because it does this.

That is completely natural, that's not a manmade effect at all. What that is, is obsidian is volcanic glass and so it cools and it hardens very very quickly, and this piece has cooled and hardened so quickly that it ended up trapping a lot of microscopic air bubbles inside.

And so that gold sheen effect that we're seeing is actually the light reflecting off of all of those microscopic air bubbles trapped inside the volcanic glass.

Tysm for answering my ask about kemetic paganism! I really respect ancient gods and deities. Really nice to see this is another way to respect and practice. I set offerings of food out often for many gods, I didn’t know stimboards were also a good form of offering!! If you don’t mind could you make one for Anubis? Thank you 🐺💛

!!! yayyy it’s so great to meet other practitioners!! let me know if either of you would like anything changed, and thank you for the patience! i hope this pleases you both :)

dua anpu!

would gold sheen obsidian still shine gold if exposed to other colors of light?

I dunno! I guess I'll do a science experiment and find out.

Looks like the obsidian's sheen changes colors to match the light!

This result makes a lot of sense, because the sheen is caused by light reflecting off of air bubbles. So whatever color the light is, that is the color the air bubbles will reflect.

I had additional theories here, but @viridiscrow actually swooped in with some scientific knowledge! The sheen appears golden in white light due to the shape of the bubbles.

Science!

Gold Sheen Obsidian Crescent Moon at Sylverra🌘

[want a crescent moon made of a different stone? see what else we have here!]

[magnetic-regent-magneto]

DARK FANTASY MAGNETO CONCEPT

CROWNED in Steel: A helmet of molten metal, half-formed like a twisted crown, rests upon his head, merging with his skull. His silver-blue eyes glow with magnetic power, mirroring the power of gravity-defying magnetic curls.

MAGNETIC Flesh: Patches of his metallic rock, like lodestones, hum on his skin. His crusader armor and gauntlets are of obsidian and mysterium metal. A cape of shattered metal billows dramatically behind him. One of his arm is fully fashioned of magnetic currents like that of a ghost's.

VOICE of the Earth: His voice resonates deep and low, a rumble echoing the power of iron core of earth's magma within the planet.

TOUCH of Humanity: A fur drapes across one shoulder, a hint of a life lived before the metal and fire. Jewelry, a blend of Romanii and Jewish patterns, adorns his form, each piece a remembrance, forged of gold and metal he has taken from those that stole it.

MOLTEN Heart: His heart is made of molten metal, constantly churning.

OBSIDIAN Earth: Alternatively, a shard of obsidian, polished to a glassy sheen, could replace the metal.

A couple necklaces I made a while ago <|:^)

I made the spiders with wire and wooden beads, but I may tuck their legs in a bit more, since they're prone to tangling with the chain. I'm not sure what the stones are, they're an opaque olivey-mossy green, and I've had them for a long time since I was quite young. If anyone has ideas of what they could be, feel free to share :)

The second necklace is made with a gold-silver sheen obsidian heart, as well as wire-wrapped bits of black tourmaline, a couple common tektites, and some other unknown stones.

Made some LotL ocs for Artfight! Also drew a version of them with different body types for fun:

More information about them under the cut:

CHEVRON AMETHYST: A fairly stern and straightforward Lustrous, Chevron is constantly trying to keep everyone in line. Actually does not like crowds, noise, and hubbub, though these days they repress it for the sake of their job. Chevron used to be good friends with the reliable former blacksmith Gold Sheen Obsidian before they were abducted, and is often frustrated with Rainbow Obsidian's antics. Chevron's kind of like the Benson Dunwoody of the cast.

RAINBOW OBSIDIAN: The eccentric blacksmith of the group, Rainbow is fascinated with their malleable body and the things it can do. Not content with making swords and calling it a day, they use their obsidian to invent crazy new weapons, much to Chevron's annoyance. These inventions usually backfire. They're not great at deducing people's true feelings and intentions, and frequently take their words at face value. When they were first born, they used to enjoy making abstract sculptures with their obsidian before being put into the blacksmith role. While they don't show it much, Rainbow does subconciously feel pressured to live up to the example of the late Gold Sheen Obsidian, whose specialty was simple and well-crafted swords.

LEMON JADE: Somewhat of a nervous "yes-man". As a Jade, Lemon has a rather tough tenacity compared to the others. This combined with their passive disposition and Rainbow Obsidian's trouble with recognizing the feelings of others often leads Lemon Jade to be the test subject of Rainbow's new inventions, much to their distress. They do genuinely like being around Rainbow, though.

MOONSTONE: An old gem, they've seen the constant cycle of fighting and loss happen over and over. Moonstone believes that the Lustrous' struggle is futile and feels that it would be best if they gave up and accepted their demise. They largely keep these feelings to themselves. When I first envisioned this character, I thought they'd be a villain deliberately sabotaging the others in a twisted form of kindness, but I decided against it. Hangs out with Star Sapphire a lot.

STAR SAPPHIRE: Star Sapphire likes to stroll at night, and frequently wonders about what's beyond the Earth and moons. Doesn't wear powder because of their inclusions' persnickety sensory issues. Hangs out with Moonstone a lot. I'm not completely sure of Star's personality yet, so feel free to make suggestions! :)

CHAMPAGNE DIAMOND: To escape the stress and heartbreak of the perilous life of a Lustrous, Champagne became a selfish hedonist, only caring about their own pleasure. They're lazy, cowardly, and especially ignorant of the lower-hardness Lustrous. Eventually, they sell out to the Lunarians entirely, pursuing a life of luxury on the moon.
