Snowflake Obsidian Round 8mm
$1858
Unit price
SKU: 8ST410
8ST410: Snowflake Obsidian Round 8mm is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Snowflake Obsidian rounds in 8mm bring the real thing to your work — this is natural obsidian glass, the volcanic stone prized for its deep black base and the pale, snowflake-like inclusions that make every bead one of a kind.
The contrast is the whole point: a near-opaque black ground interrupted by soft grey-white crystalline patches that form organically, so no two beads read exactly the same.
Specifications
- Size: 8 mm
- Color: Snowflake Obsidian
- Material: Snowflake Obsidian Glass
What to make with them
At 8mm these rounds are a strong choice for strung bracelets and necklaces where the pattern has room to show, and they pair naturally with other semi-precious stones in chakra or birthstone designs — obsidian is a January birthstone and a traditional root chakra stone, so the context is already built in.

Description
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.
