Snowflake Obsidian Tumbled
Snowflake Obsidian, a captivating natural volcanic glass, showcases a stark black backdrop punctuated by intricate patterns of gray or white Cristobalite that resemble snowflakes, hence its name. This aesthetically striking stone is formed when felsic lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth. Its unique appearance not only makes it popular among gemstone enthusiasts but also carries significant geological interest. The "snowflakes" in Snowflake Obsidian result from the inclusion of Cristobalite crystals, providing a visual record of the cooling pattern of the lava from which it originated. Beyond its beauty, Snowflake Obsidian is believed to have grounding and protective qualities, offering insight into balancing body, mind, and spirit, although these attributes are more metaphysical than scientific.
Snowflake Obsidian, like other forms of obsidian, is generally considered non-toxic and safe for handling and use in various applications, including jewelry and decorative items. It is composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO2), similar to glass, and does not contain any harmful components that can leach out or vaporize under normal conditions. However, caution should be exercised when working with raw Snowflake Obsidian or creating items from it, as the sharp edges produced when it breaks can pose a physical hazard. Additionally, inhaling dust from cutting or engraving obsidian can be harmful to the respiratory system, so protective measures such as wearing a dust mask are recommended during these activities. In summary, while Snowflake Obsidian is not chemically toxic, proper care should be taken to avoid physical injury or inhalation of particles during processing.
