Polished Black Obsidian Scrying Sphere

This item is a perfectly spherical, highly polished orb fashioned from deep black volcanic glass, commonly known as obsidian. Based on the scale provided by the human hand, the sphere measures approximately 60 to 70 millimeters in diameter. The object possesses an exceptionally smooth, mirror-like finish that reflects surrounding light fixtures with sharp clarity, indicating high-quality lapidary craftsmanship and fine-grit polishing. Obsidian is a natural glass formed by the rapid cooling of silica-rich lava; as such, this piece is opaque and lacks the internal crystalline structures found in quartz. The user notes that the item is 'heavy,' which is consistent with the dense nature of solid obsidian. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps, which is typical for such decorative or metaphysical objects. The condition appears excellent with no major chips, cracks, or fractures visible to the naked eye. However, close inspection of the reflected light reveals very fine surface micro-scratches, likely from handling or movement against hard surfaces. Black obsidian has been utilized for centuries, notably by the Aztecs for mirrors and by Renaissance-era occultists like John Dee for 'scrying.' This piece likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century, falling into the category of modern lapidary arts intended for decorative use, meditation, or as a focal point for divination practitioners.
