Snowflake Obsidian Tumbled/Polished

Snowflake Obsidian with its striking contrast of dark glass and white crystalline inclusions, is a powerful tool for grounding, protection, and self-reflection. Use it during meditation, spiritual work, or when you need to find calm amidst the chaos.

Chemical Composition: Snowflake Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) with inclusions of cristobalite, a white mineral that bursts within to form the "snowflake" patterns.

Formation: Snowflake Obsidian forms when volcanic lava cools rapidly, trapping the cristobalite inclusions within the dark, glassy matrix.

Origins: This unique volcanic glass is found in regions with significant volcanic activity, such as the United States (Oregon and Arizona), Mexico, Iceland, and Italy.
