Snowflake Obsidian

The Stone of Purity

Color: Black with pale grey/white snowflake-like patches
Chakra: Root
Zodiac: Scorpio
Element: Earth
Hardness: 5–5.5 (Mohs)
Origin: United States, Mexico, Iceland

Obsidian with pale, snowflake-shaped bursts of cristobalite scattered through the glassy black — a visual reminder, in a stone usually known for all-or-nothing intensity, that light and dark can sit side by side.

Worn to:

Balance emotional extremes without suppressing either side
Interrupt self-defeating patterns and habits
Surface old tension gently, without Obsidian's usual intensity
Support quiet, honest self-reflection

The softer-spoken member of the Obsidian family — same grounding root, gentler delivery.
