The patterns are created by the inclusion of a crystalline mineral called cristobalite, which forms as the obsidian cools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCristobalite is a high-temperature polymorph of silica (silicon dioxide), meaning it has the same chemical composition as quartz (SiO₂) but a different crystal structure. While quartz forms in a trigonal crystal system, cristobalite forms in a tetragonal crystal system. The white 'snowflakes' are cristobalite spherulites that grew as the glass slowly devitrified, long after the lava set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn metaphysical beliefs, Snowflake Obsidian is thought to have grounding and protective properties. It is said to help clear negative energies and promote a sense of balance, making it a popular choice for those interested in spiritual practices. It is associated with the root chakra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Volcanic glass (rhyolitic; about 75% SiO₂ with Al, Na, K)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChakra\u003c\/b\u003e: Root\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmall\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 6cm x 1.8cm x 1.8cm\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 30g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 7cm x 2cm x 2cm\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 45g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1pc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
