Description from the seller
Obsidian is a volcanic glass whose formation is due to the very rapid cooling of lava, still rich in silicate ions. Obsidian is a natural glass, entirely similar to that produced by humans.
A highly sought-after raw material in antiquity for the manufacture of sharp tools (primarily knives), it was one of the commodities that animated trade in the Mediterranean and supported the economic life of the extraction sites. Today it is still worked into small decorative objects, jewelry, blades for scalpels.
Splendid obsidian sphere, sourced from Mexico.
Weight: 290g
Diameter: 6.3cm
