Obsidian is a type of naturally-occurring glass formed as an
extrusive igneous rock. It is produced when felsic lava erupted from a
volcano, cools rapidly through the glass transition temperature and
freezes without sufficient time for Crystal growth. Because of the lack
of Crystal structure, Obsidian blade edges can reach almost molecular
thinness, leading to its ancient use of projectile points (arrow heads),
and its modern use as surgical scalpel blades. |
