Black Obsidian Chip Beads

Length of strand averages 800mm, with each bead averaging 7 - 10mm in length. 

Obsidian is commonly found within the margins of Rhyolitic lava flows known as Obsidian flows. The most common Obsidian is pure black, while other variations have been found such as Snowflake, Mahogany and Rainbow Obsidian. Obsidian is hard and brittle; it therefore fractures with very sharp edges, which had been used in ancient times as cutting and piercing tools. In present times Obsidian is believed to be a grounding stone, drawing out negative emotions and energies. Contains natural pitting as displayed per photograph.
