Top Customer Reviews. Failure of an off-side windshield wiper blade resulted in an arc of light scratches on the glass of my concours-winning collector car. 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.
Because obsidian is not comprised of mineral crystals, technically obsidian is not a true rock. It is really a congealed liquid with minor amounts of microscopic mineral crystals and rock impurities. Obsidian is relatively soft with a typical hardness of 5 to 5.5 on the mineral hardness scale. In comparison, quartz (crystallized silicon dioxide) has a hardness of 7.0. Obsidian occurs only where geologic processes create volcanoes and where the chemical composition of the magma is rich in silica.
