String of 3 mm faceted beads in natural golden obsidian. A deep black crossed, from certain angles, by a coppery veil that appears and disappears with the light.
Features:
The 0.7 mm hole requires a fine thread: 0.35 mm nylon passes through without forcing, including on two passes. 0.5 mm elastic is suitable for a bracelet. At this size, the bead works as both a continuous line and a spacer between larger stones.
A bit of gemology: obsidian is not a mineral but a volcanic glass: lava cooled so quickly that crystals did not have time to form. Its structure is amorphous, with no crystalline network — hence its conchoidal fracture, in curved flakes, and its glassy luster. The golden reflections come from microscopic gas inclusions aligned by the flow of the lava: when oriented to the light, the bead lights up with a coppery veil. Hardness of 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale, softer than quartz: avoid impacts and rubbing against harder materials. Main deposits: Mexico, United States, Armenia, Iceland, Indonesia.
100% natural product: the intensity and direction of the reflections vary from one bead to another and from one thread to another. Dimensions and quantities are given for information only.
