Obsidian
Obsidian is often called volcanic glass because it is formed from molten lava that has cooled very quickly. Named after Obsius, a Roman legionnaire who discovered an Obsidian deposit in Ethiopia, this stone is often confused as being a quartz due to its glass-like figure. Obsidian has served as a gemstone since antiquity, reaching its height of popularity in Victorian-era jewelry. The stone is also associated with healing properties and the capability of absorbing negative energies.
