Snowflake Obsidian worry stones are smooth, palm-sized, polished stones made from the volcanic glass known as obsidian. These stones are characterized by their distinctive appearance, featuring a dark black or deep gray base color with unique, delicate white "snowflake" patterns scattered across the surface. These patterns are created by the inclusion of small, white mineral crystals, typically feldspar, within the obsidian.

Worry stones are often used as soothing tools in anxiety or stress-relief practices. The act of rubbing the stone's smooth surface with one's thumb can provide comfort and help alleviate feelings of anxiety. Snowflake Obsidian worry stones, in particular, are believed by some to carry additional metaphysical properties. They are thought to promote a sense of balance and purity, aiding in the release of negative emotions and patterns. Additionally, snowflake obsidian is often associated with grounding and protection, making these worry stones popular choices for meditation, mindfulness, or simply as tactile reminders to stay present and centered.
