Obsidians have been known to humans since the dawn of human kind, it was used to make tools, mirrors and decorative object, scientist found evidence of Obsidian tools used by the Neolithic humans from around 10000-3500 B.C. Legends say that the name Obsidian comes from an Ancient Roman Explorer Obsius.
Obsius had travelled through Egypt and Sudan when he arrived in Ethiopia, he set out alone to explore the Mountains of the Moon in the Amhara region, there he found a woman living alone on a mountain side her name was Xenia. He was close to exhaustion and the woman fed and clothed him.
When Obsius had decided to return home on the morning of his departure Xenia handed Obsius a black sphere pointing out the mist trapped in the stone, she indicated it was her tear that seeped from her eye.
Back in Rome the black stone was the talk of the town people called it Lapis Obsidianus, Obsius had it sat on his desk he told no one of the tear trapped in the stone, he called the stone Xenia.
