Does lava destroy obsidian?

Yes, lava can melt obsidian because obsidian is essentially cooled lava, so it can be reheated back into molten rock (magma/lava) if it gets hot enough (around 700-1050°C), but it's difficult to recast into strong, usable obsidian objects due to rapid cooling and potential cracking, making chipping more practical.

What can destroy obsidian?

Obsidian breaks in Minecraft with a Diamond or Netherite pickaxe in a reasonable time, but can technically be broken by other tools or hands (though it takes ages and drops nothing). In real life, obsidian (a volcanic glass) is brittle and breaks via conchoidal fracture with sharp edges, often shattered by blunt force or careful knapping (chipping) to create tools.

What happens if you heat obsidian?

Heating obsidian, a volcanic glass, causes it to become brittle and crack due to poor heat conductivity and trapped water, but intense, prolonged heat can transform it into a lighter, porous, styrofoam-like material similar to perlite as internal water expands and bloats the glass, though it's hard to melt and cast cleanly without additives.

Can you lava cast obsidian?

Lava casting

In this process, the lava is placed as desired and then covered in water to convert it into obsidian. In this way, obsidian structures such as Nether portals can be created in place without the use of a diamond pickaxe. In order to aid in the process of casting, it is helpful to create a mold or frame.

How can you tell if a rock is obsidian?

To identify obsidian, look for a glassy, smooth texture, shiny surface, and typically dark color (black, brown, grey), but be aware of colorful variations like snowflake or rainbow types; it breaks with extremely sharp edges in curved patterns (conchoidal fracture), is generally opaque but can be translucent at thin edges, and is harder than glass but brittle. Real obsidian usually lacks visible spherical bubbles, unlike slag.

How much is 1 gram of obsidian worth today?

One gram of obsidian is generally worth very little, often just pennies ($0.005 - $0.50) for common black types, but rare colors (like rainbow or fire obsidian) can fetch much more ($1.00 - $5.00+ per gram), with prices depending heavily on color, clarity, processing, and whether it's rough or polished. For bulk or craft use, it's very cheap (a few dollars per kilogram), but unique, gem-quality pieces command higher prices due to market demand, not inherent material value like precious metals.

Is obsidian stronger than diamond?

No, diamond is significantly stronger and harder than obsidian, but obsidian can achieve a much sharper edge, making it better for cutting, while diamond's extreme hardness makes it better for durability and grinding. On the Mohs hardness scale, diamond is a 10 (the hardest natural material), while obsidian (volcanic glass) is around 5-5.5, similar to window glass, meaning diamond won't scratch, but obsidian shatters easily despite its sharpness.
