Obsidian is a volcanic rock rich in silica. Different types of obsidian exist, differing due to the chemical composition of the rock. Obsidian is actually natural glass. It forms during a silica-rich lava eruption with less than 3% water. Upon exiting the volcano, it cools very rapidly, 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, qualified as an amorphous mineral. Furthermore, obsidian possesses sharp edges and extremely fine blades. It is a natural mineral with a complex composition.
Thus, obsidian is composed mainly of silicon dioxide, approximately 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 the colors of the rainbow reflections (an effect produced by the presence of hematites or magnesites). Sometimes, two obsidian colors also mix.
Rainbow obsidian is also called celestial eye obsidian. It is black obsidian with color zones ranging from violet to green.
Rainbow 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 vitreous texture. Thus, the trapped iron and magnesium create a mixture of rainbow colors.
Rainbow obsidian is natural glass. This volcanic stone solidified in a layer up to 40 cm thick. When the stone is cut into a sphere, the reflections represent 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 is produced, giving the stone its soft colors. An eye shape is observed when the stone is polished.

In lithotherapy, rainbow obsidian has an extremely protective power. It surrounds its wearer with an armor, repelling negative energies and harmful influences. It transforms them into light and wards off bad luck.
This obsidian helps develop perception of others and reveal the true personality of the interlocutor. Thus, it prevents its wearer from being exploited by more or less honest people.
