Obsidian is a glassy, silica rich rock formed from fast cooling lava with a hardness of 5 to 5.5. The chatoyancy in this stone is created by bubbles trapped in the lava as it cools. It is an amorphous stone meaning that its structure contains no regular geometric pattern. Obsidian is found in South America, Japan, Mexico, Afghanistan, and parts of the United States.
