Mineraloid\/material term (not a single crystalline mineral species). It naturally forms in rapidly cooled silica‑rich lava (volcanic glass). Commercial material is typically sourced through surface collection from volcanic flows, using hand tools. On the market: Sometimes confused with man‑made glass; natural obsidian often shows flow banding and conchoidal fracture. Obsidian's name is linked to the Roman ‘Obsius' cited by Pliny; it was widely used for sharp blades and tools in ancient cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Sourcing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe trace this piece as far up the supply chain as we're able to, and we're upfront when a question about sourcing can't be fully answered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForms when felsic (silica-rich) lava erupts and cools very rapidly, preventing crystal formation.
