Obsidian is a naturally occurring glass formed as an igneous rock. Obsidian was valued by Stone Age cultures because, like flint, it could be fractured to produce sharp blades or arrowheads. Snowflake obsidian displays intricate, pale gray patterns in a dark gray stone. We carry snowflake obsidian beads in a range of round sizes, shapes, donuts and chips. All of FusionBeads.com's gemstone beads are graded AB. Learn all about gemstones in our Gemstone Q and A.
