Is obsidian manmade?

Obsidian is not an artificial stone. Obsidian is a naturally formed gemstone. It is formed by the sudden cooling of magma after the eruption from the back mountain pass and the extremely low temperature around it. As one of the common gemstones in life, obsidian is usually made into various accessories to wear, such as obsidian pendants, obsidian bracelets and other accessories. But in addition, because of the extremely sharp nature of the fractured part of obsidian, obsidian is currently used to make surgical blades as well.
