Designer Natural Star Obsidian Necklace
It is one of the mineral-bearing stones formed in volcanoes. It formed when a layer of hot magma solidified as it reached the Earth’s surface during a volcanic eruption. Because of its color, some people have nicknamed it black velvet. The most popular variety of obsidian is star obsidian, which has stars on the stone’s surface. Star obsidian is also known as the “stone of purity”.
Its structure is very sharp and brittle, breaking easily. It is found in areas that have experienced volcanic activity. Its black color is familiar to almost everyone. In the Middle Ages, it was polished and used as a mirror. Designer Natural Star Obsidian Necklace
Black varieties are most often found and mined in the Apache Tears region of Mexico, which is why they have been named “Apache tears” and “black velvet”. The stone has had a very wide range of uses since ancient times. Designer Natural Star Obsidian Necklace
