Snowflake Obsidian is formed when the felsic lava from a volcano rapidly cools down with very minimum crystal growth. It's basically a volcanic glass that formed as an igneous rock. Obsidian's high silica content makes the lava it forms from highly viscous, or thick. Snowflake obsidian is found in North and South America, as well as small localities in Africa and Asia.
