Snowflake Obsidian chips come stranded on a full 36" strand, giving you a generous supply of naturally patterned volcanic glass in irregular, organic shapes. The contrast between the black base and white snowflake inclusions is built right into the stone — no two chips look exactly alike.

Each chip shows the classic Snowflake Obsidian palette: dark, near-black volcanic glass marked with soft white or grey felsite patches that form the namesake snowflake-like patterns.

What to make with them

The irregular chip shape works beautifully in wrapped wire pendants and freeform bead embroidery where the organic edges add texture and movement. They're also a natural fit for knotted gemstone necklaces and earthy macramé-and-bead combinations where the raw, uncut look is part of the design.

Description

Small gemstone are both popular and versatile. Their convenient size makes them easy to work with, and useful in a wide variety of designs. You can use them as a subtle color accent or base your entire design upon them. Their natural organic shape makes them a great partner for beads like precious metal rounds or metallic seed beads. Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass. Obsidian is formed when viscous lava is rapidly cooled, most commonly by water. Obsidian is less fragile than standard window glass, and was often fashioned into sharp cutting edges by stone age man. Snowflake Obsidian is highly valued for jewelry creation due to its strikingly bold white inclusions giving the stone the appearance of snowflakes against a black sky.
