Standing Snowflake Obsidian Precious Stone keepsake urn

A stone that holds more than memory

Snowflake obsidian is not a manufactured material. The grey-white markings that surface against the deep black, the snowflakes the stone is named for, form naturally as volcanic glass cools over thousands of years. No two pieces are the same. What you are holding has existed for millennia, and carries a stillness that is sometimes harder to find in words.

What makes snowflake obsidian distinct

Snowflake obsidian is considered one of the gentler forms of obsidian. It is associated with inner calm, balance and the gradual processing of grief. The contrast between the black base and the pale crystalline markings is not decorative in the conventional sense. It is simply what the stone is, formed by geology rather than design, and that natural origin is part of what gives it quiet meaning.

A personal place for someone who mattered

This keepsake urn holds a small, symbolic portion of ashes. If you are looking for something that keeps the bond you shared close in a tangible way, this stone offers exactly that. A lock of hair or a pinch of earth from a grave can be placed alongside the ashes, making it possible to share a memorial between family members or friends. The stone is compact enough to carry in a handbag, or to sit on a windowsill or bookshelf at home.

Intended for a symbolic amount of ashes

As a mini urn for ashes, this stone is designed to hold a small, personal portion rather than a full volume. It works well alongside a larger cremation urn, or as a separate keepsake for someone close who would like their own. Because this is a natural product, the exact pattern, tone and size of the stone you receive will vary slightly from the photographs. That variation is not an inconsistency. The snowflake obsidian piece you choose is specific to the moment you chose it.

Practical care and correct sealing

Snowflake obsidian is not porous, which means ashes remain dry and contained when the closure is properly fitted. The stone is intended for indoor use. With careful handling it is a durable object, but as a natural gemstone it should be kept away from hard knocks or drops.

Sealing instructions: please read before use

Important. This stone is sealed with a small stainless steel screw cap and should be secured with glue or silicone adhesive once the ashes are in place. Turn the cap only until the reservoir is closed. Do not overtighten. If the cap is screwed past the closing point, it can fall into the reservoir and become impossible to retrieve. Take your time with this step.

Every stone arrives different

The snowflake patterns vary from piece to piece. Tones may be lighter or darker than the photographs suggest, and the size may differ slightly. This is not a quality issue. It is the nature of the material, and it means the stone that arrives with you is the only one exactly like it.

A choice that stays with you

You are not simply choosing an object. You are choosing a place for someone. This urn for ashes sits quietly wherever you give it space, a shelf, a windowsill, a personal corner of a room, and asks only that.
