Snowflake Obsidian, also known as Snowflake Obsidian, is a variety of obsidian characterized by white or gray inclusions that create a "snow" effect on the surface of the stone. This aspect gives it a distinctive and decorative look.
Properties and features:
- Aspect: Snowflake Obsidian has a black base with white or gray spots that resemble snowflakes or a "snow" effect sprinkled on the surface. This effect is due to the inclusions of cristobalite crystals, which are formed during the cooling of the lava.
- Composition: It is made of volcanic glass with inclusions of cristobalite, a silicate mineral that occurs in the form of small crystals.
- Hardness: Like all types of obsidian, it has a hardness of about 5-6 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for use in jewelry and decorative objects.
