About Snowflake Obsidian
Snowflake Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly. The distinctive white markings, known as snowflakes, are formed by the mineral cristobalite, which crystallises within the stone over time. Found primarily in the USA, Mexico, and Iceland, it has been used for centuries as a tool for protection, clarity, and inner reflection.

Cleansing Your Crystal
Snowflake Obsidian can be cleansed by placing it in moonlight overnight, smudging with sage or palo santo, or using sound (such as a singing bowl). Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may affect the stone's surface over time. As obsidian is water-safe, a brief rinse under cool running water is also suitable.
