Snowflake Obsidian is natural glass (composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO2)) that contains internal inclusions (crystallites) of Phenocryst which produce the snowflake appearance when polished and is the result of lava that cooled quickly. It is normally black and opaque, with the appearance of white to gray "snowflakes". Snowflake Obsidian is known as "the stone of purity", bringing balance to the triune function. Snowflake Obsidian provides protection for sensitives; negativity cannot coexist with it. Therefore, it is very good at enhancing the meditative space by helping to create serenity and sensitivity to love and beauty. Snowflake Obsidian has an affinity for Virgo and vibrates to the number eight. Click on the following link to see an example of Jewelry with Snowflake Obsidian.
