Mahogany Obsidian Split Necklace
Mahogany Obsidian Split Necklace from China
Obsidian
Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed during the rapid cooling of silica-rich magma. The mineral usually has a deep black colour and glassy luster, but can also show variants with inclusions or colour splashes, such as snowflake obsidian or rainbow obsidian. Its structure is amorphous, meaning it has no crystal lattice.
Obsidian is found worldwide in volcanic areas, including Iceland, Mexico, the United States and Japan. As it has no crystalline structure, it is not technically classified as a mineral, but as a rock of volcanic origin. Its composition consists mainly of silica (SiOâ‚‚), and its hardness is around 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale.

Our necklaces are available in various designs, including faceted, ball, split and knotted necklaces. Currently, all necklaces in our range are 45 cm long, which corresponds to a standard wearing length for most neck sizes. The beads or slivers used vary in shape and finish, giving each necklace a unique character.
The bead size varies depending on the type of chain, from around 4 mm in finer models to around 8 mm in the somewhat coarser versions. For split necklaces, uneven pieces of stone are used, with the split used varying from 5 to 10 mm, giving a natural look. Knotted necklaces feature a knot between the beads, which is not only decorative but also contributes to the strength of the jewellery.
Keep in mind that not every variety is available in all designs or bead sizes.
