# Profile

## Lore

Obsidian is the unsung hero of the Great Revelation war. Currently she is one of the counselling seniors of Turquoise's alliance Embryon, who guides new members of her alliance under her wing.

Back in the past, she has saved various human settlements from the invasion of Zolne, though she didn't actively claim any credit for her contributions. Lapis Lazuli instead has helped explained on her behalf to the people on who their real savior is, which would be Obsidian.

In Jewel Tales ~ Inca Rose, she has requested the assistance of Aqua Aura and her protagonist team, alongside Rock Crystal and Meteorite to help train their new recruit with plenty of hidden potential, Inca Rose.

## Personality

Obsidian is particularly modest and down-to-earth. She helps others just for the sake of helping, and doesn't request any favours in return.

She can be a bit cheeky with newer members, as demonstrated in Jewel Tales ~ Inca Rose, though the likely reason she does that is because she wants to push them forwards and let them gain confidence themselves.

Obsidian appears to be close friends with Turquoise, and because Turquoise has a significantly busier schedule, she helps her out as second-in-command for counselling the many members in the guild.

# Mineralogy

**Obsidian, a natural glass of volcanic origin, is formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava. Obsidian represents by-chance and inevitability, and mysterious wonder.**

Obsidian is an igneous rock with a glassy form that is produced during the rapid cooling of volcanic lava. It is sometimes classified as a mineraloid, implying that it is mineral-like but not a true mineral because it is not crystalline. Obsidian consists mainly of silicon dioxide (SiO2), usually 70 percent or more. Its composition is very similar to that of granite and rhyolite. Like any other type of glass and some other types of naturally occurring rocks, it breaks with a characteristic conchoidal fracture.

Pre-Columbian Mesoamericans used obsidian extensively. For instance, they carved and worked obsidian for tools and decorative objects. The ancient Mesoamericans also made a type of sword with obsidian blades mounted in a wooden body. Called a macuahuitl, the weapon was capable of inflicting terrible injuries, combining the sharp cutting edge of an obsidian blade with the ragged cut of a serrated weapon that brought fear.

Native Americans traded obsidian throughout North America. This rock was also used in construction of the Moai—the large stone statues on Easter Island.

Each volcano, and in some cases each volcanic eruption, produces a distinguishable type of obsidian, making it possible for archeologists to trace the origins of a particular artifact. In short, obsidian is the fingerprint of volcanoes.

Obsidian is used in cardiac surgery, as well-crafted obsidian blades have a cutting edge up to five times sharper than high-quality steel surgical scalpels, with the edge of the blade reaching veritable molecular thinness. It produces a cleaner cut and less tissue trauma, which translates to faster healing and less scar tissue.

Gemstone obsidian presents a different appearance depending on how it is cut: in one direction it is jet black, while in another it is glistening gray. "Apache tears" are small rounded obsidian nuggets often embedded within a grayish-white perlite matrix.
