History & Origin:
Snowflake Obsidian is an extrusive igneous rock or mineraloid that displays a grey or white 'snowflake' pattern. Often appearing on a black backdrop, these snowflakes, called spherulites, are composed of needle-shaped Cristobalite (a type of Quartz.) These patterns likely form as a result of small amounts of water within the rich felsic lava. Snowflake Obsidian can be found in locations such as the USA, Iceland & Mexico
