About Snowflake Obsidian

Snowflake Obsidian is a unique variety of volcanic glass formed from rapidly cooled lava, primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). What sets it apart is the presence of white or grayish spherulites—tiny radial clusters of Cristobalite, a form of quartz—that create distinctive snowflake-like patterns scattered across its deep black surface. This contrast gives the stone a striking visual balance between darkness and light.

With a Mohs hardness of 5–5.5, Snowflake Obsidian is softer than many crystals but still durable enough for various jewellery pieces, carvings, and meditation tools. It is predominantly sourced from volcanic regions such as Mexico, the United States (notably Oregon and Arizona), Iceland, and Japan.

♥ Balance ♥ Purification ♥ Grounding ♥ Emotional Healing ♥ Insight ♥ Transformation ♥ Protection ♥ Inner Peace

Snowflake Obsidian is known as a stone of balance and purity, blending the protective grounding energy of black volcanic glass with the gentle, calming influence of the white cristobalite “snowflakes.” It offers a softer, more nurturing form of the intense transformational energy found in Black Obsidian.

This stone supports those on a path of emotional healing and self-reflection, helping to reveal hidden patterns and toxic beliefs with kindness and clarity. It encourages release of negativity and emotional baggage while fostering inner peaceand grounded presence.

Snowflake Obsidian is particularly beneficial for those seeking to balance light and shadow aspects of the self, promoting self-acceptance and compassionate self-awareness during times of change or healing.

Energetically, Snowflake Obsidian acts as a cleansing and grounding stone that harmonises polarities within the aura and mind. It helps dissolve energetic blockages and purify the field from old traumas, fears, and limiting beliefs.

It is excellent for shadow work and manifestation practices that require honest self-examination paired with gentle integration. The snowflake patterns symbolise the uniqueness of each healing journey and the beauty of imperfections.

In rituals and crystal grids, Snowflake Obsidian is often used to clear negative energies while maintaining a balanced and stable foundation. It complements stones like Selenite or Rose Quartz to soften intense energies and support emotional release.

Snowflake Obsidian is believed to assist the body by promoting detoxification and the release of toxins held within the physical and energetic systems. Its grounding energy helps stabilise the nervous system, easing stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.

The stone’s connection to the Root Chakra supports circulation, lower back health, and muscular tension release, particularly in areas where emotional stress manifests physically. It can aid those who struggle with feeling scattered or ungrounded by encouraging a calm, centred state.

Practitioners use Snowflake Obsidian to facilitate emotional balance, helping to integrate past trauma gently and safely. It may also support improved sleep quality, especially when disturbed by excess mental activity or stress.
