These are AA-grade Snowflake Obsidian tumbled stones from Utah, United States, sold by the piece or by the pound. The grey snowflakes are cristobalite crystals that formed as the black volcanic glass cooled slowly underground. Each piece runs 1.50 to 2 inches at Mohs 5-5.5, fully natural and untreated. This is the largest tumbled size we carry. A favorite grounding stone for palm work.
