Spiderweb Obsidian Cabochons
This blue stone is called Spiderweb Obsidian for its cool web pattern.
Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass. It is a glassy, lustrous gemstone and it is found in lava flows. Obsidian is produced when lava cools so quickly that no crystals can form.

Obsidian was important to many ancient cultures. It was one of the major barter materials, and has been used since prehistoric times for making tools, masks, weapons, mirrors and jewelry. Obsidian was named after a Roman- Obsius, who reportedly discovered it.
