Snowflake obsidian is a black obsidian with inclusions of a white mineral (phenocryst], whose structure within the obsidian, when polished, resembles a snowflake.  It allows one to recognize the unnecessary patterns which remain in ones life and to re-design ones thought patterns to provide relief from undesired conditions.  It assists one in actualizing the serenity of the isolated state, when isolation is manifested, stimulating the surrender to the totality of the meditative state and further promoting sensitivity to the most vital powers in the universe--love and beauty. It is a "stone of purity", bringing both purity and balance to the body, mind, and spirit. It can be used in the treatment of disorders of the veins and the skeletal structure. It can also be used to smooth the skin [an elixir is recommended] and to clear the eyes.  Vibrates to the number 8.
