Red Snowflake Obsidian

Snowflake obsidian forms in areas of past or present volcanic activity along the tectonic plate boundaries. The whitish or grey spots are called spherulites, they are composed of needle-shaped cristobalite, a type of quartz. Red or brown obsidian generally results from tiny crystals or inclusions of hematite or limonite (iron oxide). Red Snowflake Obsidian works on the solar plexus and base chakra. It creates a buffer around the aura, protecting and shielding the physical body. It helps promote clarity of thought and mind. It is known to absorb negative energies and needs washing frequently.
