Obsidian is a silica-rich volcanic rock. Different kinds of obsidian exist, varying due to the rock's chemical composition. Obsidian is essentially natural glass, formed during a lava eruption rich in silica with less than 3% water. Upon exiting the volcano, it undergoes very rapid cooling, freezing the crystallization process.
This can be compared to a piece of lava suddenly solidified as it exits 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, classified as an amorphous mineral. Additionally, obsidian has sharp edges and very fine blades. It is a natural mineral with a complex composition.
Thus, obsidian is mainly 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 reflections that are sometimes golden, silvery, or even all the colors of the rainbow (an effect produced by the presence of hematites or magnesites). Sometimes, two colors of obsidian also mix.
Celestial eye obsidian is also called rainbow obsidian. It is a black obsidian with color zones ranging from violet to green.
Celestial eye obsidian is the result of a rare phenomenon: the contact of lava with water when lava flows into a lake or ocean. The thermal shock then causes a glassy texture. Thus, the trapped iron and magnesium create a mixture of rainbow colors.
Celestial eye obsidian is a natural glass. This volcanic stone has solidified into a layer up to 40 cm thick. When the stone is cut into a spherical shape, the reflections form concentric circles that evoke eyes. In the United States, it is preferred to be called rainbow obsidian due to its multiple colors.
When nanoparticles of elements (feldspar, hedenbergite, magnetite, etc.) are deposited in layers, an optical effect occurs. Light penetrating the obsidian becomes trapped in the natural glass. A rainbow effect occurs, giving the stone its soft colors. An eye shape is observed when the stone is polished.

In lithotherapy, celestial eye obsidian has an extremely protective power. It surrounds its wearer with armor, repelling negative energies and harmful influences. It transforms them into light and wards off bad luck.
This obsidian helps to develop the perception of others and to reveal the true personality of one's interlocutor. Thus, it prevents its wearer from being exploited by more or less honest people.
It is said to be a terribly effective stone during introspection. One must be prepared before testing it. It brings to light certain deeply hidden events within the mind. Their revelation can cause a shock.
This incredible stone helps to uncover certain traumas that lead to psychological blockages. It provides the opportunity to move forward in life and overcome encountered difficulties.
Celestial eye obsidian promotes self-assurance and self-confidence. It provides serenity, especially at bedtime. It is ideal for people who have restless thoughts and suffer from insomnia. Placed in a bedroom, it promotes quality sleep.
This stone encourages optimism and positivity. It brings the calm and peace necessary for happiness. The serenity it emanates provides well-being and openness to others. It instills compassion and empathy towards others.
