Black Obsidian forms when volcanic lava cools quickly, leaving natural glass with a deep, reflective black color. On each piece, the front is polished to a high shine, while the base keeps its raw, natural texture. The contrast between the two shows off the stone’s volcanic origin and gives each piece its own shape. Natural Black Obsidian with a mirror-polished face and a raw, natural base. The glossy volcanic glass contrasts with the rough, earthy bottom, and the base lets each piece stand on its own. A bold, grounding accent for shelves, tabletops, and curated displays. The natural base lets the stone stand upright with no stand needed, which makes it easy to display. It suits minimalist modern interiors as well as earthy, nature-inspired spaces. Use it on bookshelves, desks, coffee tables, or entryways, or pair it with plants, candles, and other minerals in a vignette.

Photos are representative, and the piece you receive will differ slightly. Small chips, natural fractures, and flow lines are normal for obsidian and are part of its character. Each piece can vary from 0.75-1 lb.
