This can be likened to a piece of lava that suddenly solidifies as it erupts from a 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, which is classified as an amorphous mineral. Furthermore, obsidian has sharp edges and very thin blades. It is a natural mineral with a complex composition.
Obsidian is composed primarily of silicon dioxide, approximately 70% or more. Its fracture is conchoidal (meaning it is furrowed with curved, concentric striations), and its hardness ranges from 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale. It exhibits a variety of colors and reflections due to the volcano where it was discovered and its diverse inclusions. It is important to note that each deposit, associated with a particular volcano, yields a unique type of obsidian.
Green, brown, grey or black, it can sometimes have golden, silver, or even all the colours of the rainbow reflections (an effect produced by the presence of hematite or magnesite). It also happens that two colours of obsidian are mixed.
Rainbow obsidian, also known as celestial eye obsidian, is a black obsidian with areas of color ranging from purple to green.
Celestial eye obsidian is the result of a rare phenomenon: the contact of lava with water when it flows into a lake or ocean. The thermal shock creates a glassy texture, and the trapped iron and magnesium produce a blend of rainbow colors.

Rainbow obsidian is a natural glass. This volcanic rock has solidified into a layer up to 40 cm thick. When the stone is cut into a sphere, the reflections form concentric circles reminiscent of eyes. In the United States, it is often called rainbow obsidian because of its many colors.
During the layering of nanoparticles of elements (feldspar, hedenbergite, magnetite, etc.), an optical effect occurs. Light penetrating the obsidian is trapped within the natural glass. This creates a rainbow effect, giving the stone its soft colors. An eye-like shape is visible when the stone is polished.

In crystal healing, celestial eye obsidian possesses an extremely protective power. It surrounds its wearer with an armor that repels negative energies and harmful influences. It transforms them into light and wards off bad luck.
