What Does Black Obsidian Mean?
My parents went to New Orleans in Louisiana a while ago and brought me back this small hand carved Panda made out of Black Obsidian. They said they got it at one of those mystical shops that have fortune tellers in the back and things that give you good luck inside. Well they told me that each rock on display meant something and was supposed to bring good luck, or love, or fortune. They don't believe in that stuff, so they didn't tell me what Black Obsidian meant. I am very superstitious, so I was wondering if anyone knew what it meant? The panda was hand carved in China. Thanks!
Black Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock. It is produced when felsic lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly without crystal growth. Obsidian is commonly found within the margins of rhyolitic lava flows known as obsidian flows, where the chemical composition (high silica content) induces a high viscosity and polymerization degree of the lava. The inhibition of atomic diffusion through this highly viscous and polymerized lava explains the lack of crystal growth. Because of this lack of crystal structure, obsidian blade edges can reach almost molecular thinness, leading to its ancient use as projectile points and blades, and its modern use as surgical scalpel blades.
