Frequently Asked Questions
What makes snowflake obsidian different from black obsidian?
Both are volcanic glass, but snowflake obsidian contains cristobalite, a mineral that crystallised inside the black glass as it cooled and formed the pale grey markings. Black obsidian is traditionally associated with straightforward protection, while snowflake obsidian is kept more for self-awareness and noticing your own patterns.
Which wrist should I wear it on?
Wear it on your left wrist. In most energy traditions the left side receives and the right projects, so a stone worn for grounding and protection goes on the left. If you already wear a watch there, the right wrist is fine, since wearing it consistently matters more than the side.
What size is it and will it fit me?
The bracelet is made on a stretchable elastic cord that fits most adult wrists comfortably. Measure around your wrist with a strip of paper and a ruler if you are unsure. Roll it on rather than stretching it wide, and the elastic will last considerably longer.
How do I cleanse and care for snowflake obsidian?
Cleanse it under moonlight, with sage or palo santo smoke, or on a selenite plate. Avoid salt water and prolonged soaking, since obsidian is volcanic glass and will dull. Keep perfume, sanitiser and harsh chemicals away from the gold-plated charm, and wipe the beads with a soft dry cloth.
Is snowflake obsidian good for anxiety or overthinking?
Many people wear it as a grounding reminder when their thoughts feel scattered, and it is traditionally associated with a settled, steady mind. Crystals are not medicine and are not a substitute for professional care, so if anxiety is affecting your daily life, please speak to a qualified professional as well.
Can I wear it with other crystal bracelets?
Yes. Snowflake obsidian pairs naturally with black tourmaline for stronger protection, amethyst for calm, and clear quartz for focus. Avoid stacking more than three at once, both for comfort and because it becomes harder to notice what any single stone is doing for you.
Does it come gift ready?
Yes. The bracelet arrives cleansed and Reiki-charged in a premium box with the S.P.A.C.E. process card enclosed, ready to give as it is. This product is non-returnable due to its delicate nature, so please check the fit before ordering.
