Guan Kong Obsidian Pendant Necklace

Guan Kong, guardian of loyalty and safe passage, carved in black obsidian.

Obsidian is volcanic glass, formed the moment molten rock meets cold air. It has been worn for grounding and protection for as long as people have carried stone, the dark surface said to hold the attention steady through a demanding day.

Guan Kong (关公) is the general the tradition made a guardian, honoured for centuries as the protector of the loyal and the upright, kept by those who travel, trade or stand by their word. Here he stands full-figure, halberd in hand, in deep relief.

For anyone who leads or protects others, worn on a beaded cord.
