Primer vidrio utilizado por el hombre. Su nombre deriva de
Obsidius, explorador romano que la descubrió en Ethiopía. Material de origen
volcánico. Al ocurrir una explosión volcánica parte del material fundido
contenido dentro del volcán es lanzado o fluido directamente a la atmósfera, al
tomar este contacto con el aire se produce un rápido enfriamiento de los
compuestos de sílice, produciéndose vidrio (obsidiana). Este proceso se da en
la última etapa de la erupción. Su composición principal está formada entre 70
y 80% de óxido de silicio. Como la obsidiana no es estable, con el tiempo suele
sufrir procesos de cristalización (desvitrificación) convirtiéndose en
cristales de grano fino.
Obsidian
First glass used by man. Its name derives from Obsidius, a
Roman explorer who discovered it in Ethiopia. Material of volcanic origin. When
a volcanic explosion occurs, part of the molten material contained within the
volcano is released or flowed directly into the atmosphere. Upon making this
contact with the air, a rapid cooling of the silica compounds occurs, producing
glass (obsidian). This process occurs in the last stage of the eruption. Its
main composition is formed between 70 and 80% silicon oxide. As obsidian is not
stable, over time it usually undergoes crystallization processes
(devitrification) becoming fine-grained crystals.

Marca: A. D. Leveridge. Hecho por Micromat. Co. Modelo:
1972. USA.
Determina peso aproximado (desplazamiento) cuando la gema
está engarzada y no es posible utilizar una balanza. También se usa para gemas
sueltas.
Método: Se toman dos o tres medidas, diámetro o longitud-
ancho y altura de la gema, con los valores obtenidos se recurre al libro anexo (diamantes)
o fórmulas especiales (gemas), sabiendo previamente la forma de la talla y el
grosor de su cintura se obtiene el peso aproximado. Museo Mineralis. Argentina.

Determines approximate weight when the gem is mounted and a
scale cannot be used. Also used for loose gems.
Method: Two or three measurements are taken, diameter or
length-width and deep of the gem, with the values obtained, the attached book
(diamonds) or special formulas (gems) are used, previously knowing the shape of
the size and the thickness of your girle you get the approximate weight.
