ONE Snowflake Obsidian 2 inch Egg Carved Carving Stone Odsidian is a natural volcanic glass. This glassy, lustrous mineral is found in lava flows. Obsidian is produced when lava cools very quickly. The lava cools so quickly that no crystals can form. In some Obsidian, the inclusion of small, white, radially clustered crystals of cristobalite in the black glass produce a blotchy or snowflake pattern (hence the name: snowflake obsidian). Obsidian was important to many ancient cultures. It was one of the major barter materials, and has been used since prehistoric times for making tools, masks, weapons, mirrors and jewelry. Obsidian was named after a Roman-Obsius. Metaphysical Properties: Legends say it provides strength in times of need. These small eggs are each unique because of the natural material and hand carving. They are about 2 inches tall (50 mm). The listing is for one-I will choose for you! E-mail a friend about this item. | |||||||||||||||
