Obsidian is also known as Volcanic Glass due to its smooth appearance . Obsidian is formed as a result of the extremely rapid cooling of lavas extruded during volcanic eruptions. The rapid cooling does not allow any crystal formation . Most Obsidian is black but if it contains some mineral impurities such as iron or magnesium , a mixed colouration may result as in the deep reds and browns in Mahogany Obsidian .
Obsidian was used by many ancient peoples to make arrow heads and knives as it can be fashioned to create extremely sharp edges.
Said to assist in decision making and stabilizes the mind.
