Each 8mm bead is a glossy, near-black stone with a subtle sheen. At Vincryst we string them on a durable elastic cord so the bracelet slips on comfortably and fits most wrists. Obsidian is not a mineral but natural glass, which is exactly why it takes such a deep, reflective finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Facts You Can Verify\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e natural volcanic glass (amorphous silica, ~70% SiO₂).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–5.5 on the Mohs scale — tougher than it looks, but avoid hard knocks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e sourced from volcanic regions; our beads come from trusted Guangdong lapidary workshops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e solid black with a glassy luster; no two beads share the exact same flow line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy People Wear Black Obsidian\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross many cultures obsidian is carried as a \u003cstrong\u003egrounding and protective stone\u003c\/strong\u003e.
