This process produces a glassy texture in the resulting rock. Iron and magnesium give the obsidian a dark green to black color. Obsidian has been used by ancient people as a cutting tool, for weapons, and for ceremonial purposes and is sometimes found by archaeologists in excavations. Black is the most common color of obsidian. However, it can also be brown, tan, or green. Rarely, obsidian has an iridescent or metallic "sheen" caused by light reflecting from minute inclusions of mineral crystals, rock debris, or gas. These colored specimens are known as "rainbow obsidian," "golden obsidian," or "silver obsidian," depending upon the color of the sheen or iridescence. These specimens are very desirable for the manufacture of jewelry. Color: dark green to dark brown and black, also can show sheens of gold or green, yellow, blue and/or purple coloration. Hardness: 5 - 5.5. Chemical Formula: 70-75% SiO2 + MgO, Fe3O4. (The above information is provided solely for informational purpose.
