Snow against a dark sky
White and pale grey markings gather across snowflake obsidian’s dark surface, like little flurries caught against a night sky. Some form dense clusters; others leave more black space between them. The rounded, irregular outlines and glossy finish soften that striking contrast, inviting you to follow one pale patch into the next.
Look closely and the familiar idea of a snowflake becomes something less orderly and more surprising: a scattered, shifting pattern of small shapes. Snowflake obsidian is traditionally associated with reflection and balance, an association that sits naturally beside its light-and-dark colouring. Here, the pleasure is in the contrast itself—a tiny winter landscape with no two markings quite alike.
