AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Obsidian is a volcanic glass whose formation results from the extremely rapid cooling of lava, always rich in silicate ions. Obsidian is a natural glass, entirely similar to the human-made one.
A highly sought-after raw material in antiquity for making sharp tools (primarily knives) and one of the commodities that animated trade in the Mediterranean and sustained the economic life of the mining areas. Today it is still worked into small decorative objects, jewelry, and blades for scalpels.
Splendid sphere of obsidian, originating from Mexico.
Weight: 910 g
Diameter: 9.2 cm
