Properties
Spiderweb obsidian
*Due to the nature of this stone and its formation, there can be pockets and imperfections.*
Weaving of the threads of fate - clear vision/clarity - connect to your ancestral roots - call on wisdom from your ancestors/guides - creativity - cord cutting - self awareness - duality of light/dark - support when releasing or grieving - road opener - strength.
Energy is more delicate than other obsidians, but that doesn't reduce its strength.
Lava cools so quickly that the stone hardens and little cracks/fractures are created. The veins are then filled by mineral-rich fluids that eventually solidify to form the grey/green spiderweb patterns. Rare material - greenish blue/grey material is from one mine.
Platinum obsidian
Grounding - encourages truth telling - cultivates wisdom - act with integrity - divination - clarity - cooperation/team building - diplomacy - planning - healthy processing of trauma - stay true to yourself.
A more gentle delivery of its messages than other obsidian.
The black and grey bands in this ‘platinum’ obsidian are caused by differing amounts of micro-crystallinity as each layer hardens.

AVOID WATER & SELF CARE PRODUCTS
Avoid exposure to water (especially saltwater and chlorine), lotions, sprays, soap, etc because they can damage the elastic over time - and this can lead to snapping. Even the oils and sweat on our skin can wear out the elastic eventually.
Remove your bracelet when bathing, swimming, doing the dishes, etc. These activities can also dull the crystals.
STORAGE + CLEANING
Every bracelet comes with an organic cotton pouch for safe storage when not in use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause crystals to fade over time. Keep your bracelet out of reach of children and pets, as they can easily snap the elastic.
Use a soft cloth (like microfiber) to wipe off oils, dust, or dirt. Avoid soap or harsh chemicals, and just use a damp cloth if needed. Allow your crystal bracelet to dry before wearing it again.
REMOVE BEFORE ROUGH ACTIVITIES
Avoid getting your bracelet caught on things by removing it before doing activities like playing with kids or dogs, yard work, exercise, etc. You can also wear them on your non-dominant hand to reduce chances of getting caught and snapping.
GENTLE HANDLING
The elastic can snap if handled roughly. Gently roll your bracelet over your hand when putting it on or taking it off, and avoid pulling or stretching too hard.
