Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass. It forms when silica-rich lava cools too quickly after a volcanic eruption. This fast cooling prevents the lava from forming a crystal structure. Although obsidian is usually black, its color varies depending on the mixture of different impurities.

2. Types of Obsidian

Many people believe that obsidian is only black. However, obsidian can also have different colors, textures, and spots. It may even show special optical effects.

The main color is black. You can divide it into many business categories based on how it looks.

• Pure Obsidian

Pure black obsidian is deep and low-key, without a trace of color, with a fine and smooth texture, without any rough crystal particles. The surface is shiny and has no cracks or lines. This type of obsidian has the largest production volume and is also the most common type on the market.

• Rainbow Obsidian

Rainbow obsidian refers to obsidian that emits a rainbow-like glow. When placed under sunlight or strong light, you can see a naturally formed colored halo. The more colors the better.

Rainbow Obsidian is lighter in color, giving it a translucent visual effect. Some stripes are oval. This creates eye-shaped single-eyed rainbow obsidian and double-eyed rainbow obsidian.

The difference between them is that the single-eyed obsidian has one flashing eye. The double-eyed obsidian has a flashing eye on both the front and back surfaces. The output is relatively scarce, and it belongs to the top quality of obsidian.

• Golden Sheen Obsidian
  

Golden Sand Obsidian, or Golden Obsidian, has a shiny black base color. When light shines on it, it can look like it has a golden halo.

This gold color is special. It has sand-like gold dots. They look like a thin layer of golden quicksand. These dots densely cover the surface of the gem.

• Silver Sheen Obsidian
  

Silver sand obsidian is also known as silver obsidian and silver flash obsidian. When a light shines on the stone, you can see silver sand spots. They cover the surface like the Milky Way in the night sky, calm and quiet.

• Snowflake Obsidian

When quartz crystals form on the surface of obsidian rock, they create white or gray patches. These patches look like snowflakes on the stone's surface. The colors clearly contrast and stand out distinctly.

• Velvet Obsidian

Velvet obsidian has a unique feature. As the angle changes, it shows light and shadow like velvet. Its color can change, and its texture is complex and wavy. It is a rare type among the many types of obsidian.

• Mahogany Obsidian
  

Golden red obsidian, also known as mahogany obsidian, contains hematite and magnetite. Although the word red is in its name, it is also a type of obsidian. Its characteristic is the red patches on the stone, which creates a red and black blending effect with a strong contrast.

• Cat's Eye Obsidian

The Cat's Eye Effect happens when a gemstone crystal grows. During this process, it has tiny, parallel fibers. Manufacturers can make these fibers from gas, liquid, or solid materials. When someone cuts it into a curved shape and exposes it to light, it forms a bright, silky light band, just like a staring cat's eye.
