Obsidian (Natural Volcanic Glass)
Obsidian is an igneous rock formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava from volcanoes. It’s extremely rich in silica (about 65 to 80 percent).
Obsidian was used by Native Americans and many other early peoples for weapons, arrowheads, implements, tools, and ornaments and by the ancient Aztec and ancient Greek civilizations for mirror. The sharpest stone artifacts were fashioned from obsidian.
Obsidian is an earth-stone, activating the root chakra and grounding you in your connection to the Earth. It clears the aura of negative energy. Obsidian draws out mental stress and tension. It stimulates growth on all levels, urging exploration of the unknown and opening new horizons. It brings clarity to the mind and clears confusion. Obsidian dissolves emotional blockages and traumas!
Though obsidian is typically jet-black in color, the presence of hematite (iron oxide) produces red and brown varieties, and the inclusion of tiny gas bubbles may create a golden sheen. Other types with dark bands or mottling in gray, green, or yellow are also known.Over a long period of time, obsidian gradually changes from glass to rock in a process known as "devitrification." In this process, the silica molecules within the glass slowly rearrange into organized crystal patterns. The "snowflakes" in snowflake obsidian are quartz crystals that have formed through devitrification of the original obsidian.
