Snowflake Obsidian is named for its patches of white inclusions that resemble snowflakes. Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass, typically ranging in color from gray to black. During prehistoric times, obsidian was widely used for knives, arrowheads, and spear points — prized for the sharp edges it produces when fractured. These oval cabochons display the stone's signature opaque black body accented by distinctive white snowflake-patterned inclusions, making each stone visually unique and ideal for setting in handcrafted jewelry.
Care: Clean with warm, soapy water only. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
