Obsidian is a volcanic rock rich in silica. Different types of obsidian exist, differing due to the rock's chemical composition. Obsidian is essentially a natural glass. It forms during a volcanic eruption of silica-rich lava with less than 3% water. As it exits the volcano, it undergoes very rapid cooling, freezing the crystallization process.
This can be likened to a piece of lava suddenly frozen upon exiting the volcano. The direct consequence of this phenomenon is the rock's inability to crystallize. The result is the creation of a volcanic glass with a uniform texture, described as an amorphous mineral. Furthermore, obsidian has sharp edges and very fine blades. It is a natural mineral with a complex composition. Thus, obsidian is primarily composed of silicon dioxide, about 70% or more. Its fracture is conchoidal (grooved with curved and concentric striae) and its hardness is 5 to 5.5 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. Green, brown, gray, or black, it can have sometimes golden, silvery, or even all colors of the rainbow reflections (an effect produced by the presence of hematites or magnesites). Sometimes two colors of obsidian also mix. This is pure and basic obsidian. Composed of over 70% silica, it owes its beautiful dark color to the presence of iron. It has almost no inclusions except for a few magnetite nanoparticles. During archaeological excavations, tools and weapons made of black obsidian are often discovered. The legend of young Obsid highlights the discovery of an extremely sharp black obsidian on the ground. Black obsidian is a smooth, shiny stone, similar to glass due to its bright, reflective surface.
