{"product_id":"polished-obsidian-sphere","title":"Polished Obsidian Sphere","description":"\u003cp\u003eObsidian is volcanic glass, formed when lava cools too fast to crystallise, and polished to a sphere it produces one of the deepest blacks available in a natural material. The surface goes to a genuine mirror finish, so the piece picks up a compressed reflection of whatever is around it and reads as much darker than the room it sits in. On a pale table it becomes the thing your eye returns to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo sizes are offered. The three centimetre sphere is a desk object, small enough to sit in a dish with other found things or hold while you think. The ten centimetre sphere is a proper centrepiece for a coffee table, a console or a low shelf, heavy enough that it needs a stable flat surface. Each stone is natural, so subtle banding, sheen and inclusions vary from piece to piece and no two are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is sold purely as a decorative object. No properties of any kind are claimed for it beyond how it looks. Handle it as you would any polished glass: it is hard but brittle, and a fall onto a hard floor will chip the surface. Wipe with a soft dry cloth to keep the polish clean, and avoid abrasive pads and household cleaning sprays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural polished obsidian, a volcanic glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 3 cm and 10 cm diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep mirror-polished black finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBanding and sheen vary piece to piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace on a stable flat surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe with a soft dry cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrittle: avoid knocks and hard floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative only, no properties claimed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lockhone","offers":[{"title":"3 cm","offer_id":58871586980224,"sku":"LH-BWL-0260","price":75.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 cm","offer_id":58871587012992,"sku":"LH-BWL-0260-2","price":75.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/4737\/5232\/files\/7339ce20-d331-460a-94e2-aa16f00c9cfd.jpg?v=1788676255","url":"https:\/\/lockhone.com\/products\/polished-obsidian-sphere","provider":"Lockhone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
