Exquisite unique snowflake obsidian rosary puts a beautiful twist on the usual same-old black rosary! For those who like black rosaries but are bored with the usual black beads, you will be delighted with this distinctive natural rosary made from the earth. An extra edded touch is the black enameled crucifix along with the highly detailed Scapular center featuring the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This striking rosary makes an excellent gift for men and boys. Great for religious, as well. It is of God’s creation from volcanic lava as it hits the water!

Obsidian is the result of volcanic lava coming in contact with water. Often the lava pours into a lake or ocean and is cooled quickly. 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.

Obsidian has several varieties. Obsidian can contain small bubbles of air that are aligned along layers created as the molten rock was flowing just before being cooled. These bubbles can produce interesting effects such as a golden sheen, known as Sheen Obsidian or a rainbow sheen called Rainbow Obsidian. Inclusions of small, white, radially clustered crystals of cristobalite in the black glass produce a blotchy or snowflake pattern producing Snowflake Obsidian. Small nuggets of obsidian that have been naturally rounded and smoothed by wind and water are called Apache Tears.

This is a 5 decade rosary. It measures approx. 20" (inches) in length including the crucifix.
