Snowflake Obsidian Rough D (864g)

Snowflake Obsidian Rough D (864g)

Snowflake Obsidian Rough D (864g) is proof that rough crystals do not need polishing to be beautiful. Its black volcanic base is broken by pale, flower-like patches that seem to bloom across the stone, creating the signature ‘snowflake’ pattern. Weighing 864g and measuring approximately Approx. 10,5x9cm, this is a wonderfully substantial natural specimen.

Snowflake Obsidian begins as volcanic glass. The pale markings are created by clusters of cristobalite that develop within the dark obsidian, turning an otherwise black stone into something far more intricate. Browse more Snowflake Obsidian to see how dramatically the size, density and shape of these natural patterns can change from piece to piece.

Crystal traditions often connect Snowflake Obsidian with grounding, protection and learning from difficult experiences. Whether you connect with that meaning or simply love geology, its volcanic origin and contrasting internal pattern give it a story that goes far beyond ‘just another black stone’.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the pale patches painted onto the stone?

No. The snowflake markings are natural mineral growths within the obsidian.

What makes this different from plain Black Obsidian?

Both are volcanic glass, but Snowflake Obsidian contains pale cristobalite clusters that create its distinctive spotted pattern.

How should I clean a rough Obsidian specimen?

Dust gently with a soft dry brush or cloth and avoid knocking rough edges against hard surfaces.

Is Snowflake Obsidian a good gift for someone who likes unusual geology?

Yes. Its volcanic origin, natural glassy texture and internal cristobalite pattern make it interesting even for someone who is not focused on metaphysical meanings.
