Obsidian is a volcanic rock rich in silica. Different kinds of obsidians exist. They differ due to the chemical composition of the rock. Obsidian is actually a natural glass. It forms during a silica-rich lava eruption with less than 3% water. Upon exiting the volcano, it cools very quickly, freezing the crystallization process. This can be likened to a piece of lava suddenly solidified as it exits the volcano.
The direct consequence of this phenomenon is the impossibility for 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. Thus, obsidian consists mainly of silicon dioxide, about 70% or even more. Its fracture is conchoidal (i.e., grooved with curved and concentric streaks) and its hardness is 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale. It has different colors, different 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, silver reflections, or even all the colors of the rainbow (effect produced by the presence of hematites or magnesites).
It also happens that two colors of obsidian mix.
This is pure, basic obsidian. Composed of more than 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, discoveries of tools and weapons made of black obsidian are common.
