The Origin and History of Snowflake Obsidian
Snowflake obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly without crystallising. Historically, it has been valued for both its aesthetic intrigue and functional use, frequently employed by ancient civilisations to create sharp tools and ornamental objects. Its distinct snowflake-like patterns arise from the crystallisation of cristobalite within the glass, making it a fascinating gemstone throughout history.

Legends and Lore Surrounding Snowflake Obsidian
Throughout the ages, snowflake obsidian has been surrounded by myths that speak to its protective qualities. It was believed to shield the wearer from negativity and to promote clarity and balance. Some cultures revered it as a stone that could reveal hidden truths and aid in meditation, enhancing spiritual growth. The distinctive snowflake patterns symbolise purity and transformation in folklore.

Healing Qualities Traditionally Attributed to Snowflake Obsidian
Renowned for its grounding properties, snowflake obsidian is said to aid emotional healing by bringing balance to mind and body. It is thought to encourage calmness during stressful moments and to assist in recognising and releasing negative thought patterns. Practitioners often use it to help with physical detoxification and to support the circulatory system.

Physical and Geological Characteristics of Snowflake Obsidian
Snowflake obsidian is a volcanic glass with a hardness of 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for detailed beadwork yet delicate enough to handle with care. Its distinctive snowflake inclusions result from the crystallisation of white cristobalite within the black volcanic glass matrix. These beads exemplify the remarkable geological processes that produce such striking natural artistry.
