About Snowflake Obsidian

Snowflake Obsidian is natural volcanic glass that contains small white or grey patches of cristobalite, which look like snowflakes scattered across a black background. It forms when lava cools rapidly. Like other obsidian, it has a hardness of about 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale and a smooth, glossy surface when polished.
