Black Obsidian Bottle
$100 | 500 ml | Borosilicate glass + stainless steel | Crystal sealed, never touches water
Not a Crystal
The obelisk behind the borosilicate looks almost liquid. A dense black column with a glassy surface that catches light and gives nothing back. Every other bottle in the lineup is transparent or translucent. This one is opaque.
Black obsidian is volcanic glass. Lava cooled too fast for a crystal lattice to form. No repeating atomic structure, no mineral classification. Amorphous, 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale. Most stones in the Glacce collection are quartz. Obsidian isn't even a mineral.
The Stone of Truth
Obsidian has been called the Stone of Truth because it forces you to look. Root chakra. Associated with protection, grounding, boundaries. Unlike gentler stones like Smoky Quartz, obsidian doesn't soothe. It exposes.
Practitioners reach for obsidian during shadow work. It's considered a stone of psychic protection, a boundary between you and whatever you keep picking up from other people. High-pressure job, porous boundaries, the coworker whose mood you carry home. This is the stone for that.

Smoking Mirrors
The Aztecs polished obsidian into mirrors. They named a god after it. Tezcatlipoca, "Smoking Mirror," carried a disc of polished obsidian to see hidden truths and observe enemies from a distance. Obsidian mirrors served as divination tools across Mesoamerica. When Spanish conquistadors brought one back to Europe, it ended up with John Dee, court astrologer to Elizabeth I. That mirror is now in the British Museum.
Thousands of years of people using this material to look at what's real. The "Stone of Truth" label didn't come from nowhere.
Sealed Design
The black obsidian obelisk sits inside a separate glass chamber at the base of the bottle. Water surrounds the chamber but never contacts the stone.
Obsidian is water-safe by composition. Won't dissolve, leach, or react. But volcanic glass is brittle. It fractures rather than flexing, and those fractures produce edges at the molecular level. Glacce's sealed chamber eliminates that risk. Stone encased, isolated from your drinking water. You can still charge it in moonlight or sunlight through the glass.
The rest of the build: lead-free borosilicate glass body, 18/8 stainless steel cap and base, food-grade gasket, mechanical seal. No glue, no adhesive, no plastic. Hand wash recommended. Do not expose to rapid temperature changes; borosilicate handles heat well, but obsidian does not tolerate thermal shock.

Who This Is For
If rose quartz is the stone you gift to someone you love, obsidian is the stone you keep for yourself.
People pick this bottle when they want protection, not comfort. Boundary work. Difficult environments. The feeling of absorbing what isn't yours. Obsidian draws a line. Pairs well with journaling, meditation, therapy. Not the bottle for winding down before bed. The one for looking at things clearly.
