PHYSICAL: COMMON - Obsidian is a glassy, silica-rich volcanic rock with a hardness of 5 to 5.5. It is a stone formed by lava that didn’t have enough time to cool into glass. It is common in areas where there is volcanic activity.

HISTORICAL: VERY ANCIENT - The name is from the prominent ancient Roman, Obsius. It was first mentioned in the Latin scripted book “Natural History” by Pliny the Elder in 77 AD. Traces of obsidian being used as weapon/tools date as far back as 7,000 years ago. Obsidian was highly valued in the ancient world for arrowheads and blades as they were easily able to be worked with, yet very durable. Obsidian’s most interesting fact about its past usage is that it was polished for the sole purpose of being used as early mirrors before glass was established.
