Obsidian Properties
With a Mohs rating of 5-5.5, obsidian has a glassy sheen and little transparency. It is known for being extremely hard and strong enough for jewelry.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the Different Types of Obsidian?
Black, mahogany, rainbow, and snowflake obsidian are examples of common varieties of obsidian. This volcanic glass is made more diverse by the distinctive patterns, hues, and inclusions that each variation displays.
2. How is Obsidian Formed?

In contemporary birthstone systems, obsidian has not typically been acknowledged as a birthstone. Some, however, think it corresponds with the Scorpio astrological sign, which stands for transformation and protection.
