Elegant Snowflake Obsidian bracelet

Snowflake obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass that forms when lava cools rapidly. Its distinctive appearance, characterized by black glass with white or gray "snowflake" patterns, is due to the presence of cristobalite, a type of quartz that forms as the obsidian begins. In Mesoamerican cultures, obsidian was considered a powerful stone. The Aztecs and Mayans used it for ceremonial purposes and believed it had protective and healing properties. Snowflake obsidian, with its unique patterns, was often associated with purity. Overall, snowflake obsidian's history is intertwined with human development, from practical uses in ancient times to its aesthetic and metaphysical significance today. 20cm diameter
