Geological Origin & Rarity
Black Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed when silica-rich lava cools rapidly, preventing crystal formation. This rapid cooling gives it a smooth, glassy texture and deep black appearance.

It is commonly found in volcanic regions such as Mexico, the United States, and Central America. While relatively abundant, well-polished pieces with clean surfaces are preferred for jewellery.

Symbolism (Butterfly Meaning)

• Butterfly: Represents transformation, renewal, and personal evolution
