Obsidian Gemstone: A Unique and Timeless Beauty

Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass. It is formed when felsic lava extruded from a volcano cools without crystal growth. Obsidian has been known since prehistoric times, and has some fascinating properties as well as some important practical uses.

In addition to its use as a gemstone, obsidian has been used in cardiac surgery, as well-crafted obsidian blades have a cutting edge many times sharper than high-quality steel surgical scalpels. In some stones, the inclusion of small, white, radially clustered crystals of cristobalite in the black glass produce a blotchy or snowflake pattern, and this is known in the gem trade as snowflake obsidian.

Obsidian: The Black Elegance

Obsidian, a natural volcanic glass, stands out with its deep black hue. Its sleek and glossy surface, formed when molten lava cools rapidly, exudes a sense of mystery and sophistication, making it a popular choice for jewelry enthusiasts.

Rainbow Obsidian's Prismatic Allure

Among the mesmerizing varieties of obsidian is the enchanting rainbow obsidian. This type showcases a stunning play of colors, displaying iridescent swirls that shift as light dances across its surface. This unique optical effect lends rainbow obsidian an added dimension of allure, perfect for those seeking a distinctive and vibrant gemstone option.

Price and Rarity of Obsidian

The price of obsidian gemstones can vary widely based on factors such as quality, size, and color. While basic black obsidian is relatively affordable, rarer varieties like rainbow obsidian can command a higher price due to their unique visual effects. Despite the range in prices, obsidian remains an attractive choice for those looking to make a statement with their jewelry without breaking the bank.

Versatile Obsidian Rings

Obsidian's sleek beauty and timeless elegance make it a popular choice for crafting rings. Its lustrous black surface complements both silver and gold settings, allowing for versatile and striking designs. Whether used as a centerpiece or as accent stones, obsidian gemstones add a touch of sophistication to rings, making them a preferred choice for those who appreciate bold yet classic jewelry pieces.

Very easy to find the specific stone I was looking for. I am pleased by both the selection and the price of the stones that are available. The only "bad" thing that I have to say is that the interface of the site is outdated.

I really enjoy browsing through GemSelect. The selection is always marvelous and I love how detailed everything is described. The only thing I noticed is that when browsing through my phone, the videos of the gems do not load. If there were more videos of the gems, that would be amazing, though I understand that is a lot of work on GemSelect's part! Checking out is also very fast and easy, and I love that the return policy is very good, though I hope I don't have to use it anytime soon.
