Black Obsidian Palm Stone Medium

5.5cm Wide

Obsidian, igneous rocks occurring as a natural glass formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava from volcanoes. Obsidian is about 65 to 80 percent silica and less than 1 percent water. This glass-like mineral is harder than window glass! Black obsidian is typically black but can have red inclusions due to iron and hematite. Gas bubbles can also get trapped inside this mineral and create either a gold or silver sheen beneath the surface. Obsidian is mainly found near the west coast of the United States including Hawaii and Alaska.
