This volcanically shaped country already provided this stone to the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican cultures – they used it for tools, ceremonies, and jewelry. Mineralogically speaking, obsidian is not a crystal in the classic sense, but an amorphous volcanic glass with a high silicon dioxide content, formed by the rapid cooling of magma. Its typical deep black color and characteristic conchoidal fracture make it mineralogically unique and visually unmistakable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProperties and characteristics of our obsidian spheres\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach obsidian sphere in our assortment is a one-of-a-kind natural piece – hand-selected quality that we curate with great care.

These properties make it mineralogically unique and visually easy to recognize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the obsidian in your spheres really from Mexico?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
