Bast (later known as Bastet) was an ancient Egyptian goddess of home, fertility, pleasure, and protection, often depicted as a woman with a cat's head or as a cat or lioness. Worshipped as early as the Second Dynasty, her cult was centered in the city of Bubastis and was known for joyful festivals, with offerings including mummified cats and musical instruments like the sistrum. Bast's depiction evolved from a fierce lioness to a more gentle domestic cat, and she was also associated with the sun god Ra and the protection from the serpent Apep

Silver Sheen Obsidian is a protective "mirror stone" that promotes inner awareness, grounding, and clarity by revealing subconscious truths and reflecting one's inner self. It is a strong grounding stone, especially linked to the root chakra, but also connects to the Third Eye and Crown Chakras for spiritual insight. This stone is excellent for meditation, astral travel, expanding consciousness, and strengthening one's sense of self and ability to take on new paths with wisdom.  

Silver Sheen Obsidian is a naturally occurring variety of black volcanic glass known for its characteristic silvery sheen, caused by internal gas bubbles and nanoparticles. It is prized for its aesthetic beauty in jewelry and ornaments, as well as for its spiritual properties. Believed to be a protective "mirror stone," it's used in crystal healing and meditation to promote self-reflection, confront inner fears, cleanse negativity from the aura and environment, and enhance intuition and spiritual insight.
