STONE DETAILS
The word Obsidian originates from Roman Obsius, who is accepted as being the one who first discovered and introduced obsidian from Ethiopia. Obsidian is a volcanic mineral (natural volcanic glass), formed by the rapid cooling of silica-rich (SiO₂) lava flows, which prevents crystallization and results in an amorphous structure. It consists mainly of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and specifically, the variety known as Snowflake Obsidian contains cristobalite inclusions that form radial clusters within the volcanic glass, creating the characteristic white or gray “snowflake” patterns. Obsidian is characterized by the hardness of 5- 6 on the Mohs scale and it usually has dark color with glassy texture. Obsidian can be found in many countries such as the USA, Ecuador, Indonesia, Iceland, Italy and Mexico. There are also some other types of Obsidian such as rainbow, which is more common in Mexico and snowflake, which is more common in Italy, Iceland and the USA.
