Obsidian
Volcanic glass. Sharp edges, honest reflections.
- Stone
- Volcanic glass
- Major Sources
- Mexico, Oregon, Iceland & Japan
- Treatment
- Natural, untreated
Obsidian is natural volcanic glass, formed when silica-rich lava cools too fast for crystals to grow, so it breaks with sharp, curved edges. It's sold raw and tumbled, and shaped into spheres, palm stones and carvings.

Before You Buy Obsidian
Natural or man-made?
Natural obsidian is usually black, sometimes brown, gray or green. Bright, see-through blue, green or red glass sold as obsidian is often man-made. We disclose all treatments on the product page.
Black, snowflake or rainbow?
All are volcanic glass. Snowflake has white or gray clusters of cristobalite crystals. Rainbow and gold sheens come from tiny crystals or gas bubbles inside, so they show best when light catches the stone.
Is raw obsidian sharp?
It can be. Broken obsidian has smooth, curved surfaces and very sharp edges, and blades made from it have been tested against surgical steel. Handle raw pieces with care; tumbled stones are smooth and rounded.
Care
At 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, obsidian scratches and chips more easily than quartz. Store it apart from harder stones, wash with mild soap and warm water, and dry it with a soft cloth.
