Obsidian Poem by Christopher Tye

Obsidian

Rating: 5.0


Born out of the heat of volcanoes,
Nature's own glass it is so beautiful and rare,
So hard it can take an edge sharper than flint,
Yet so few of us have heard of it,
A barely known wonder of the natural world,
Yet it has uses like pumice does,
It ability to take a razor sharp edge,
Far sharper than any steel,
Gives it a useful role in surgical tools.

Indeed a rock of note, perhaps it's low key keeps it available for special purposes. Nice informative write.
