40mm black obsidian heart.

Colors may vary slightly from one stone to another.

Obsidian is a volcanic rock rich in silica. Different kinds of obsidian exist. They differ due to the chemical composition of the rock. Obsidian is actually a natural glass. It forms during an eruption of lava rich in silica with less than 3% water. As it leaves the volcano, it cools very quickly, freezing the crystallization process. This may be similar to a piece of lava suddenly frozen as it leaves the volcano.
The direct consequence of this phenomenon is the impossibility for the rock to crystallize. The result is the creation of a volcanic glass with a uniform texture and which we describe as an amorphous mineral. Furthermore, obsidian has sharp edges and blades of great finesse.

It is a natural mineral with a complex composition. So, obsidian consists mainly of silicon dioxide about 70%, or even more. Its fracture is conchoidal (i.e. furrowed with curved and concentric streaks) and its hardness is 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale. It has different colors, different reflections due to the volcano where it was discovered and its various inclusions. It should be noted that each deposit, linked to a volcano, provides a different obsidian. green, brown, gray or black, it can sometimes have golden, silvery reflections, or even all the colors of the rainbow, (effect produced by the presence of hematites or magnesites).
It also happens that two colors of obsidian mix.
This is pure, basic obsidian. Made up of more than 70% silica, it owes its beautiful dark color to the presence of iron. It has almost no inclusions except for a few magnetite nanoparticles. During archaeological excavations, these are often discoveries of tools and weapons made from black obsidian.
The legend of young Obsid highlights the discovery of black obsidian on the ground, extremely sharp. Black Obsidian is a smooth, shiny stone, similar to glass due to its shiny, reflective surface. This stone can break into fragments with curved edges. This feature is ideal for making cutting objects. Today, black obsidian is frequently used in jewelry and ornamental objects.
