Obsidian goes through the rock cycle the same way other rocks go through the rock cycle, either through metamorphosis, weathering and erosion and subsequent lithification into sedimentary rock, or by melt into another igneous rock.

As sand, it is a piece of sediment. If it goes through a lot of pressure, it would then become metamorphic. If the metamorphic rock melts into magma, then cools, it would then become igneous. When the igneous rock goes through weathering and gets worn down, it then becomes sediment again.

The rock cycle entails the life span of rocks, beginning from magma generation through its ascent to its evolution. It gives account of all the three basic forms of rocks and how they are interrelated and transformed from one to another. Obsidian is formed in the Igneous phase of the rock cycle. Its formed as a result of rapid cooling of erupted lava, Obsidian also referred to as "Volcanic Glass" is an "Extrusive Igneous Rock" and comes to existence when lava at the earth surface cools at a very fast rate that its crystallization stage hardly comes to play, it appears as a massive rock that is very fine and smooth to touch, and glassy in appearance.
