Obsidian is classified as a volcanic glass due to its rapid formation by cooling lava. Unlike traditional mineral crystals, obsidian lacks a defined crystalline structure, which gives it its unique glassy appearance. This volcanic rock is primarily composed of silicon dioxide, an essential component of igneous rocks. Obsidian typically forms in felsic lava flows, where rapid cooling prevents mineral crystallization. This unique process results in a smooth, homogeneous texture distinct from other volcanic rocks. Obsidian formation sites are often located in active or ancient volcanic regions, such as Iceland, Japan, and parts of the United States, particularly Oregon and New Mexico. In the field of mineralogy, obsidian is prized not only for its aesthetic beauty, but also for its distinct physical and chemical properties. Its density typically ranges from 2.3 to 2.6 g/cm³, and it has a hardness of 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively resistant to wear.
