Obsidian pendants

Obsidian is a type of volcanic glass, a rock that is formed as a result of magmatic activity, when hot acidic and viscous lava comes into rapid contact with a cold environment and then solidifies rapidly. The rock is very rich in SiO2 compounds and is a natural form of glass.
Since the Paleolithic and Neolithic, obsidian has been used to make tools, mainly scrapers, spearheads or knives. The oldest archaeological find documenting the use of obsidian dates back to Mesopotamia, approximately 9,000 years ago. In South America, it was used by shamans as protection against evil forces, and processed objects made of obsidian have been preserved. It is attributed to magical properties to this day.
