Crushed Black Obsidian Sand from Mexico for Inlay, Resin Jewelry, Mineral Art
ABOUT OBSIDIAN
Obsidian is a volcanic rock that cools very rapidly from silica-rich lava to form volcanic glass. Volcanic glass can vary in color; however, it is commonly a black color. Because of its conchoidal fracture, obsidian has been used since the Stone Age for tools, weapons, and as an ornamental material. This particular crushed obsidian is from Mexico and is very clean and free of impurities.
