Country of Origin: USA
This naturally occurring volcanic glass is formed when felsic lava extruded from a volcano cools quickly, thus preventing crystal growth. This glass is called Obsidian. If the lava cools slower, snowflake-shaped inclusions begin forming in the stone. We see this as snowflake patterns in the obsidian. This is the very start of crystal formation in lavas.
More About Snowflake Obsidian
The energy of obsidian is protective, guarding and secure, reminding us to protect ourselves against the harsh words or actions of others or from the stresses and strains of life. It’s good to have around in a working environment where there may be stress. It can also be used as a tool to aid grounding, and for uniting body and spirit, bringing them into harmony and focus. Obsidian cuts through all that is superfluous and brings us right back to the truth of how we are and how the world around us truly is. It may promote deep soul healing and also help connect with past lives. Snowflake obsidian has inclusions of a white mineral (phenocryst) which give the impression of snowflakes when polished. These snowflakes can be seen to represent aspects of your life on the backdrop of the great black void from which we are all said to have come. This symbolism can help us to see our life more clearly so we can change what we don’t like and keep what we do. Calming and soothing.
