Description
Geological Formation of Black Obsidian
Black Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when silica-rich lava cools rapidly, preventing crystalline structures from forming. This rapid cooling often occurs when lava contacts air or water, resulting in a glassy texture with smooth surfaces and sharp, conchoidal fractures. Composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), obsidian is classified as an extrusive igneous rock and is celebrated for its dramatic glossy appearance.
The unique folds and points of this specimen were naturally sculpted during the cooling process, giving rise to a form reminiscent of a classic witch’s hat, with an organic, dramatic silhouette.
