STONE DETAILS
The name “Obsidian” comes from the Roman Obsius, who, according to tradition, was the first to discover and introduce obsidian from Ethiopia to Rome. Obsidian is an igneous rock, considered natural volcanic glass, composed mainly of silicon dioxide. It forms when volcanic lava cools very quickly, resulting in the lack of the smooth crystalline structure typical of other rocks. Instead, the crystallization of obsidian is irregular, leading to the formation of radial crystal clusters, often white or gray, creating the appearance of “snowy specks.” These specimens are known as “Snowflake Obsidian.” Obsidian has a hardness of 5-6 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively soft, but extremely sharp, which is why it was used in ancient times to make tools and weapons. Obsidian is primarily found in volcanic regions around the world, such as the United States, Ecuador, Indonesia, Italy, and Mexico, with notable deposits also found in Greece, specifically in the Cyclades. There are various types of obsidian, with Rainbow Obsidian primarily coming from Mexico and Snowflake Obsidian being mainly found in the Lipari Islands of Italy, Iceland, and the USA.
