It is amorphous rather than crystalline and breaks with sharp conchoidal fracture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGEOLOGY \u0026amp; FORMATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt forms mainly in rhyolitic lava flows and domes where highly viscous magma is quenched near the surface. Major sources occur in volcanic provinces worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMETAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObsidian (Black) is traditionally associated with grounding, protection, discernment, and emotional steadiness. Its formation as rapidly cooled volcanic glass gives it an especially direct symbolic link with intense change becoming a stable new form. Practitioners commonly use it as a contemplative aid for staying centered when circumstances feel intense, distracting, or uncertain. These associations are part of crystal traditions and are not scientifically established medical effects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEY PROPERTIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrounding • Protection • Discernment • Stability • Focus • Boundaries • Resilience\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCHAKRA\u003c\/strong\u003e: Root\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELEMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e: Earth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZODIAC\u003c\/strong\u003e: Capricorn • Scorpio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMOHS HARDNESS\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5–5.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eACCURACY \/ TRADE-NAME NOTE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural volcanic glass, not a mineral.
