Rainbow Obsidian Sphere

Description

This rainbow obsidian sphere is a fascinating piece! All rainbow obsidian tends to look slick black under normal lighting conditions. When lit up more directly, green, purple, and/or blue bands become apparent in better quality specimens. This colorful banding comes from a specific kind of crystallization that occurs as it is forming. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a truly special piece of gemstone décor. We are thrilled to have this sphere, as it can be difficult to find rainbow obsidian spheres in larger sizes. We only have this one piece. Make this beauty yours today! It would also make a thoughtful gift.

Size: Approx. 2.25″ in diameter, 191g

A Little More About Rainbow Obsidian

Rainbow obsidian is formed when molten lava cools rapidly, creating a glassy texture. The unique colors in rainbow obsidian are caused by inclusions of hedenbergite nanoparticles within the volcanic glass. These inclusions refract light, producing the stunning rainbow effect. The crystalline structure of rainbow obsidian gives it a smooth, polished appearance that enhances its beauty and allure.
