Snowflake Obsidian – Purity. Clarity. Reflection. Snowflake Obsidian is a beautiful variety of natural volcanic glass, characterized by its black base and distinctive white or grey "snowflake" patterns. These patterns are formed by tiny crystals of cristobalite that create the unique snowflake effect. Unlike standard black obsidian, which is uniform and reflective, Snowflake Obsidian is softer in appearance, still protective, but with a gentler, more introspective energy. Why Snowflake Obsidian? Snowflake Obsidian is the stone of clarity and self-reflection. It: Benefit What It Means For You Clarity Helps you see your own patterns and behaviors clearly Release Assists in letting go of old habits and limiting beliefs Purity Encourages a fresh start and clean slate Balance Brings equilibrium between mind, body, and spirit Gentle protection Shifts negativity without the intensity of black obsidian What are the snowflakes? The white or grey patterns in Snowflake Obsidian are not paint or added material, they are natural formations of cristobalite crystals within the volcanic glass. Each stone has a unique distribution of "snowflakes," making every piece one of a kind. Size information: This stone is defined as between 2cm and 3cm measured on the long axis of the stone only. Please note, all stones do vary in size and shape. Natural variation is part of the beauty of real crystals, no two are exactly alike.

It is hard but can be brittle, if dropped on a hard surface, it may chip or break. Handle with care. It can be cleansed with water, smoke, or moonlight (unlike selenite, it is not water-soluble). The white cristobalite inclusions can create natural weak points. The polishing process smooths the surface but does not change internal structure. Why buy from Inner Peace Crystals UK?
