Ranging from almost-undetectable to 'can just feel them under my fingernail' the scratches caught the light and weren't going to pass muster at my next car show.
An obsidian rock is an extrusive igneous rock that forms when a volcano erupts and has no time to crystallize, so it has a glassy texture. Obsidian rocks are generally black i â¦ n color.o rock is completely impermeable, but some porous rocks like shale and pumice are mostly impermeable, because â¦ the pores are not interconnected, thus not allowing fluids or gases to pass through them. This is why shale makes a good cap-rock, and pumice floats instead of sinking. 2 people found this useful.
Obsidian, natural glass of volcanic origin that is formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava. Obsidian is extremely rich in silica (about 65 to 80 percent), is low in water, and has a chemical composition similar to rhyolite. Obsidian has a glassy lustre and is slightly harder than window glass. Though obsidian is typically jet-black in colour, the presence of hematite (iron oxide) produces red and brown varieties, and the inclusion of tiny gas bubbles may create a golden sheen.
