Key Properties:
Sharp Edges: Used for ancient tools and modern surgical blades.
Metaphysical Uses: Believed to offer protection and clarity.
Fragile Yet Durable: Hard but brittle, breaking with a conchoidal fracture.
Where to Find It:
Major deposits exist in the U.S., Mexico, Iceland, and Japan.
Obsidian has been valued for centuries in weaponry, jewelry, and spiritual practices, making it both a historical and scientific marvel.
