It has a smooth, glossy surface, and its color is predominantly black with possibly subtle variations in texture. The edges are chipped, and there are visible fractures and slight curves, indicating it might have been shaped or broken. Obsidian is known for its sharpness when fractured, which was often utilized in tool making by ancient cultures.

This image shows what appears to be a piece of obsidian, which is a naturally occurring volcanic glass. The specimen is black in color and has the characteristic glassy, lustrous appearance typical of obsidian. The edges appear to be somewhat rough or chipped, suggesting this might be either a raw piece or one that has been roughly worked. The material is photographed against a white background, which helps highlight its dark, opaque nature. Obsidian forms when volcanic lava cools rapidly, and it has been historically used by many cultures for making tools and decorative objects due to its ability to be worked into very sharp edges.
