Different types of obsidian exist. They differ due to the chemical composition of the rock. Obsidian is actually a natural glass. It forms during an eruption of silica-rich lava with less than 3% water. Upon exiting the volcano, it cools very rapidly, freezing the crystallization process. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis can be likened to a piece of lava suddenly solidified upon exiting the volcano. The direct consequence of this phenomenon is the inability of the rock to crystallize. The result is the creation of a volcanic glass with a uniform texture, which is described as an amorphous mineral. Furthermore, obsidian has sharp edges and very fine blades. It is a natural mineral with a complex composition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus, obsidian is mainly composed of silicon dioxide, approximately 70% or more. Its fracture is conchoidal (i.e., grooved with curved and concentric streaks) and its hardness is 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. It has different colors and reflections due to the volcano where it was discovered and its various inclusions. It should be noted that each deposit, linked to a volcano, provides a different obsidian. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen, brown, gray, or black, it can sometimes have golden, silvery, or even rainbow reflections (an effect produced by the presence of hematite or magnesite). Sometimes, two colors of obsidian can also mix. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraces of obsidian have been found in certain sharp objects dating back approximately 2 to 4 million years, particularly in Kenya. During archaeological excavations, knives, arrows, and spears have been discovered. Sometimes, depending on its composition, obsidian can be polished to make rustic mirrors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs early as 7,000 BCE, obsidian was widely used in surgery due to its cutting properties. Evidence of trepanation, the removal of a part of the skull bone either to clean a wound or to allow spirits to enter, has been found. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Mesopotamia, traces of obsidian blades have been identified as early as 5,000 BCE. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Egypt, obsidian was brought from the Red Sea, Greece, or Italy. The Egyptians used it for its beauty, mystery, and value. They used it for the eyes of their statues, notably those in Tutankhamun's mask (1323 BCE). Obsius, returning from Ethiopia, brought back obsidians and decided to name them \"obsidianus\" in Latin. Obsidian was used for the manufacture of all kinds of ornamental objects, jewelry, or tools. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, in Mexico, there is another legend. In a time when the natives lacked food, the men went hunting where they had to confront wild beasts, even mammoths. They left women and children under the protection of the elders. Then, one day, the tribe was attacked by wild and fierce hyenas. But the elders no longer had weapons when young Obsid, son of the bravest warrior, saw a shiny black stone on the ground. He securely fastened it to a piece of wood. He threw this makeshift weapon at one of the hyenas, which howled in pain, scaring away all the others. The whole tribe honored young Obsid and granted him the status of warrior, and the stone was thus named after him. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Navajo tribe, obsidian was one of the four sacred stones. The obsidian mountain corresponds to Mount Hesperus. In some of their creation stories, man's heart was said to have been created by the gods with obsidian. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor generations, magicians, sorcerers, or prophets have used polished obsidian as a mirror. They claimed to be able to read the future in it. But it was Dr. John Dee (1527 - 1608) who used it again to spread his prophecies. He became very famous, and the story goes that he helped foil certain plots against the English crown. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main obsidian deposits are in Mexico, Madagascar, the United States, etc. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver obsidian has been used for millennia by magicians, mages, prophets, and seers to predict the future. This stone has a well-deserved reputation for being enchanting. It can be admired for hours. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis splendid variety of obsidian has a lustrous black surface and silvery reflections. It possesses a magnetism that fulfills its owner. Silver obsidians are composed of 75% silica, magnesium, and iron. They have a vitreous appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver obsidian sometimes serves as a protective talisman. It is the result of cooled volcanic lava. It is a relatively rare stone with an iridescent appearance and a sparkling and shimmering look. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring archaeological excavations, a statue representing Tezcatlipoca, a Nahuatl name literally translating to \"Smoking Mirror,\" god of Aztec mythology, was discovered with a silver obsidian mirror on his forehead. He is the most feared of the Aztec deities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most beautiful pieces of silver obsidian come from Mexican deposits. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver obsidian is known to increase clairvoyance and intuition. It encourages spiritual exploration and trust in the unknown. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stone is a powerful protective stone. It teaches humility and frees its wearer from past blockages that prevent them from moving forward. It dissipates buried fears and childhood traumas. It provides an inner mirror and leads to a better understanding of oneself. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver obsidian allows one to move forward in life, while providing self-assurance and self-confidence. It encourages access to purity and humility. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stone facilitates decision-making, helps to take responsibility, and to brave life's difficulties. It is particularly recommended for people who are sorely lacking in tact. It develops quality communication by allowing its wearer to choose the right words and to form beautiful sentences. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring difficult episodes in life, silver obsidian helps one to keep moving forward despite everything. It engenders compassion towards others, but also towards oneself. It encourages less critical and more compassionate behaviors towards others. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver obsidian instills patience and perseverance. It encourages hard work to achieve goals. It deepens meditation and improves the connection between body and mind.
