Obsidian is a rock which is a type of naturally occurring glass that is produced by volcanoes when felsic lava cools rapidly and freezes without sufficient time for Crystal growth.  It is an extrusive igneous rock.  Because Obsidian lacks Crystal structure, the blade edges can reach almost molecular thinness, leading to the ancient use of arrow heads and the modern use of surgical scalpel blades.
