Obsidian is a volcanic rock rich in silica. Different types of obsidian exist. They differ due to the chemical composition of the rock. Obsidian is actually a natural glass. It is formed during an eruption of silica-rich lava with less than 3% water. Upon exiting the volcano, it cools very quickly, freezing the crystallization process.

This can be compared to a piece of lava suddenly solidifying as it leaves the volcano. The direct consequence of this phenomenon is the inability of the rock to crystallize. The result is the creation of a volcanic glass with a uniform texture and which is called an amorphous mineral. Furthermore, obsidian has sharp edges and blades of great finesse. It is a natural mineral with a complex composition.

Thus, obsidian is essentially composed of silicon dioxide, about 70%, or more. Its fracture is conchoidal (i.e. furrowed with curved and concentric striations) 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.

Sky Eye Obsidian is also called Rainbow Obsidian. It is a black obsidian with areas of color ranging from purple to green.

Celestial Eye Obsidian is the result of a rare phenomenon. It is the contact of lava with water, when the lava flows into a lake or an ocean. The thermal shock then causes a glassy texture. Thus, the captured iron and magnesium generate a mixture of rainbow colors.

Celestial eye obsidian is a natural glass. This volcanic stone has solidified in a layer that can reach up to 40 cm thick. When the stone is cut into a sphere, the reflections represent concentric circles that evoke eyes. In the United States, it is preferred to be called rainbow obsidian because of its multiple colors.

When depositing nanoparticles of elements (feldspar, hedenbergite, magnetite, etc.) in layers, an optical effect occurs. Light entering the obsidian is trapped in the natural glass. A rainbow effect occurs and gives the stone its soft colors. An eye shape is observed when polishing the stone.

In lithotherapy, celestial eye obsidian has an extremely protective power. It surrounds its wearer with armor, which repels negative energies and harmful influences. It transforms them into light and wards off bad luck.
