In Short

These are AA-grade Snowflake Obsidian tumbled stones from Utah, United States, sold by the piece or by the pound. The gray 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.

About This Snowflake Obsidian

Snowflake Obsidian is part of the volcanic glass family. Named after Obsius, a Roman who reportedly first found it in Ethiopia.

Sourced directly from Utah, United States.

At 1.50 to 2 inches these are the largest tumbled pieces we carry, which gives the snowflake patterning room to read from across a room.

Traditionally Used For

Those who work with snowflake obsidian often turn to it for staying connected to your body and the moment, working through difficult feelings at your own pace, and a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain. It's traditionally linked to the root and crown chakras. If that resonates, set one on the floor near where you sit to read or work. How you use it is up to you.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity Moderate

Questions Before You Buy

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.

What size are the pieces, and how many are in a pound?

Each piece measures 1.5 to 2 inches on its longest side and weighs 20 to 40 grams. About 16 to 24 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

What does AA grade mean?

Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

This lot is from Utah, United States. It came to us through a direct source, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
