Bead size: 13mm Wrist circumference: 17cm Obsidian is a natural glass formed when volcanic lava cools and solidifies rapidly. The process is so fast that there is no time for mineral crystals to form, so obsidian is usually dark black. Besides being called obsidian rock or Tokan stone, it has a beautiful name, "the stone that never cries," which comes from Native American names and legends about obsidian. There are many types of obsidian, with more than 30 varieties when classified in detail. The most common type is golden black obsidian, which is pure obsidian with opaque crystals that remain black even under strong light, showing no color variation. Other varieties include rainbow obsidian, ice obsidian, gold sheen obsidian, snowflake obsidian, red silk gold obsidian, blue obsidian, green obsidian, purple obsidian, and many other styles. When people think of obsidian, the first thing that comes to mind is its evil-repelling properties. This is because of its strong absorptive nature, giving it greater energy to remove negative influences compared to other gemstones.
