OBSIDIAN stone is a naturally occurring volcanic glass.
I have seen incredible musical wind chimes made from obsidian stones; what a fascinating sound.
Obsidian, if left unpolished, can be extremely sharp.
It is still used in surgery today instead of a scalpel, when a finer edge is needed.
Obsidian blade edges can reach almost molecular thinness.
Obsidian is also used for ornamental purposes and as a gemstone.
It possesses the property of presenting a different appearance according to the manner in which it is cut:
when cut in one direction it is jet black; in another it is glistening gray.
SMOKY QUARTZ is a brown to black variety of quartz. Like other quartz gems, it is a silicon dioxide crystal. A very dark brown to black opaque variety is known as morion.
