This polished piece of Rainbow Obsidian has a flat base and a curved top that has been shaped to create two connected hearts. In regular lighting, this piece appears to be almost solid black other than the band that contains small white inclusions. In bright natural light it displays multicolored concentric bands in dark green and purple.

Obsidian is an organically created glass, formed through felsic lava that rapidly cools after exploding past the earth’s crust. It exhibits conchoidal fracturing and is a hardness of 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale. Typical Obsidian is a semi-translucent black that can have slight tints of green or brown, but Rainbow Obsidian has inclusions of hedenbergite that create greens, blues, and purples in the light.
