What is obsidian?
Obsidian or volcanic ice is a black, brown or grey pebble that gives off beautiful reflections when in contact with light. This beautiful stone results from the flow of silica-rich lava through the rocks. After the lava has cooled, stones, crystals or gems are formed and obsidian is one of them. In the case of this stone, cooling occurs very quickly, which is why it is not a crystal. It is rather a volcanic glass which is very much exploited in the field of jewellery and fashion. An obsidian pendant has a great value in particular for its many virtues.
History of obsidian
The first obsidian was discovered in Ethiopia by a certain Obsius, hence its name. Subsequently, other obsidians were discovered in other countries including Mexico, Japan and Peru. The most beautiful varieties of obsidian are found in Mexico and among the most famous are Mentogochol, the celestial eye, silver, gold and spider web. Other high quality obsidians are also found in the Lipari Islands, the Canary Islands and Milos Island. Quality obsidians are highly sought after. The reason is that their vitrification decreases with time and if they are of average quality, they may quickly lose their value.
