Snowflake Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass that gets its name from the tiny white mineral inclusions, cristobalite, that form little snowflakes-like patterns in the dark stone. It is a smooth stone that is often polished into small gems and beads, which are then fashioned into bracelets and pendants. The hard stone is also ideal for carving small figurines and sculptures.
 
Austrian crystal is handmade using a technique traditionally known for cutting hand-blown glass. Austria leads the world in the production of precision-cut crystals. They are used in fashion and jewellery as well as in architecture lighting and interior designs.
