Its beautiful, swirling patterns make each piece a small work of natural artistry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike most gemstones, obsidian is not a mineral crystal but a naturally occurring volcanic glass, formed when silica-rich lava cools so rapidly that its atoms have little opportunity to arrange themselves into an orderly crystalline structure.
