About This Rainbow Obsidian

Rainbow Obsidian is part of the volcanic glass family.

These tumbled stones come from Jalisco, Mexico.

Named after Obsius, a Roman who reportedly first found it in Ethiopia.

Traditionally Used For

Those who work with rainbow obsidian often turn to it for working through difficult feelings at your own pace, opening to connection, with yourself and others, and a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain. It's traditionally linked to the root and heart chakras. If that resonates, keep a piece in your pocket during the day for a steadying presence. How you use it is up to you.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity Moderate

Rainbow Obsidian sits at 5-5.5 on the Mohs scale, soft enough to scratch with a knife, so keep it dry and store it on its own. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real rainbow obsidian, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural rainbow obsidian from Jalisco, Mexico. Untreated. The rainbow is natural light interference, not a coating.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.

What size are the pieces, and how many are in a pound?

Each piece measures 1.25 to 2 inches on its longest side and weighs 20 to 40 grams. About 16 to 24 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

What does AA grade mean?

Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

This batch is from Jalisco, Mexico. It came to us through a direct source, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
