Obsidian Arrow Heads & Raw Quartz Crystals!




Im so jazzed on these new finds. I love how organic and magical they look. I made a necklace with the obsidian arrow head that is both shiny and dangerous, those arrowheads are sharp! When I was in University doing anthropology I always felt border line intoxicated by Obsidian. God, that sounds weird now... but truly it's such a cool material. My first year anthro class we had this Santa Clause look a like man - short, chubby with a giant white beard and a huge shiny bald spot. He was an archeologist, a rock lover and would of had the power to make me never take another Anthropology class had he not brought in some obsidian for us to fashion our own arrowheads. I became hooked. I'm not sure if it was a flashback to my younger years collecting river rocks and shiny black coal pieces from out at my cabin and painting them with clear nailpolish to keep the shine. No matter what the reason is, I love me some obsidian and crystals! Now, to figure out how to keep them just as beautiful on a necklace!
