WHAT IS OBSIDIAN MEANING
In the days of Ancient Rome Warrior Obsian brought from Ethiopia to the capital of the empire dark shiny stones, which have since became known as obsidian.
A natural volcanic glass, obsidian forms when lava solidifies so quickly than mineral crystals do not have time to grow. However, most obsidian is similar in composition to rhyolite, and is commonly found on the outer edges of rhyolite domes and flowes. Like rhyolite, obsidian can show flow-banding. It is also found along the rapidly cooled edges of dykes and sills.
Obsidian is typically jet-black, although the presence of hematite (iron oxide) produces red and brown varieties, and the inclusion of tiny gas bubbles can create a golden sheen.
