A Bit About Obsidian
From mindat.org (https://www.mindat.org/min-8519.html):
“Glassy, fresh igneous rocks with a high silica content and conchoidal fracture.
The earliest manufactured mirrors were pieces of polished obsidian.
Volcanic glass – a rock rather than a mineral, it is a mixture of cryptocrystalline grains of silica minerals in a glass-like suspension, a super-cooled liquid. Obsidian is formed in the latest stage of volcanic eruptions, the silica left over after most of the other elements and water have been used up are ejected or flow out and rapidly chilled at surface temperatures.
Some varieties resemble tektites and are therefore considered as “pseudotektites”.
NOTE on “Transparent/Translucent Obsidian”:
A lot of gem-quality water-clear variously coloured ‘obsidian’ has been offered for sale on the internet (in particular on auction websites) with a variety of sources listed. The material offered for sale is, in fact, an artificial glass mass-produced in places such as Indonesia.”
