obsidian aethergate

Channel protection, grounding, and spiritual communication.

This pendant features a square obsidian stone and natural quartz point set in a copper halo. It is suspended from an adjustable leather cord.

The setting is achieved through the process of electroforming. The talisman was processed in an acid solution bath for over 10 hours to achieve a thick coating of pure copper. It is subsequently sealed in a clear protective coating to reduce tarnishing and preserve the natural patina.

How to care for sculptural copper jewelry: This item will continue to age over time, developing a rich patina with wear and exposure. Remove your jewelry prior to sleeping, bathing, exercising, or cleaning. This piece has been sealed with a two-step wax and polishing process to prevent wear and discoloration. Gently wash with water and diluted soap as necessary. Harsh chemicals can damage gemstones, remove patina, and wear away the protective polish coating. Jewelry should be stored away from sunlight and heat. Copper is a low-allergic metal and should cause no harm during contact with your skin although discoloration may occur if the protective coating is damaged. Do not wear on bare skin if you have a copper sensitivity.
