The Rich Legacy of Snowflake Obsidian
Snowflake Obsidian has been prized since ancient times for its distinctive markings and volcanic origin. Historically valued by various cultures, it was often fashioned into tools and ornamental pieces due to its sharpness and aesthetic appeal. This gemstone embodies centuries of volcanic activity, bearing the unique visual signature of crystallised silica that forms the characteristic ‘snowflake’ inclusions.

Myths and Mystical Tales Surrounding Snowflake Obsidian
Legends tell that Snowflake Obsidian has protective properties, shielding the wearer from negative energies and offering mental clarity. Ancient beliefs held that this stone could balance light and dark, helping individuals to confront their inner shadows while fostering purity and calm. Its striking appearance has made it a talisman of balance and transformation throughout history.

Healing Qualities Attributed to Snowflake Obsidian
Loved by crystal healers, Snowflake Obsidian is associated with grounding energies and emotional equilibrium. It is said to aid in stabilising one’s mind and promoting clarity during stressful moments. The stone’s balancing properties make it an ideal choice for jewellery designed to inspire strength and focus in daily life.

Geological and Physical Characteristics
Snowflake Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed from rapidly cooling lava, with embedded white or grey cristobalite crystals. It rates approximately 5 to 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, providing a reasonable level of durability for jewellery use. Typically sourced from volcanic regions including the western United States and Mexico, its distinct pattern forms as mineral impurities crystallise within the obsidian glass.
