Snowflake Obsidian Crystals
Snowflake obsidian tumbled stones, highly polished and wonderfully tactile.
The markings in this stone are inclusions of spherulite. Spherulites are radiating needle-like crystalline fibres that occur in certain igneous rocks. They're generally found in those which are 'glassy' or have a vitreous lustre. A cavity or crystal of quartz or feldspar can usually be found in the centre.
Obsidian is natural volcanic glass produced by lava expelled from the vent of a volcano. Due to the speed at which it cooled, crystals didn't have time to grow. Naturally occurring solids void of any significant crystalline structure are known as mineraloids.
The presence of inclusions and impurities in obsidian cause different sheens, markings and colours. Black obsidian is the variety people tend to be most familiar with but there are several others.
