Obsidan smykkesten Colour
Pure obsidian is a very dark colour. It gets this colour from the presence of iron and magnesium. Colourless obsidian is rare. Mahogany obsidian has dark-brown to black and red banding. Sheen obsidian is dark-brown to black with a golden or silver sheen (this is also called aventurescence). Rainbow obsidian is dark-brown to black with an iridescent sheen. The iridescence of obsidian can be gold, silver, blue, violet, green or combinations of these colours. The rainbow colours of rainbow obsidian come from the presence of augitic pyroxene. “Fire” or “flame” obsidian reflects bright colours due to the presence of nanometric magnetite crystal layers. Transparent pale yellow-green to brownish obsidian from Peru is referred to as macusanite. Translucent to opaque, black-streaked orange, red or brown obsidian nodules from the American Southwest are known as “Apache tears”. Orange obsidian is referred to as “pumpkin obsidian” and plum-coloured obsidian is called “plum obsidian”.
Obsidan smykkesten Clarity and Lustre
Since obsidian is volcanic glass, it has a vitreous (glassy lustre). It may contain inclusions which cause a silver or gold sheen. It may also contain needle-like inclusions, gas bubbles, torpedo-shaped bubbles, teardrop-shaped bubbles or cristobalite crystal inclusions, which appear like “snowflakes” in “snowflake obsidian”. Obsidian from Chile has also been found containing very rare inclusions of euhedral indialite crystals and transparent rods of sillimanite. Bolivian obsidian has been found to contain orange spessartine inclusions. Obsidian can display chatoyancy (cat’s eye effect).
Obsidan smykkesten Cut and Shape
Due to the opacity of most types of obsidian, it is usually cabochon cut, fancy cut, sphere-cut, tumbled, made into cameos or carved. Cabochon cuts also best exhibit any sheen or iridescence. Translucent to transparent materials are faceted.
Obsidan smykkesten Treatment
Obsidian is not usually treated or enhanced in any way.
