Obsidian

Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass that comes in a variety of forms. It is found within the margin of rhyolitic lava flows, known as “Obsidian flows.” Because of the glassy nature of the stone, Obsidian has sharp edges when fractured that were used for piercing and cutting tools throughout history. One of the most common tools made from Obsidian were arrowheads.
