No it will not.
No, not unless it is somehow shaped into a form that displaces less water than it's mass. Obsidian is volcanic glass, glass is much denser than water, therefore sinks.
Any with a density less than the fluid into which it is placed. Pumice is a volcanic rock that will sometimes float on water.pumice
Obsidian is an igneous rock.So the answer is YES.
To maintain the shine of an obsidian rock, you can polish it using a soft cloth and a commercial jewelry polish. To reveal the colors within the obsidian, you can cut it using a lapidary saw or water-cooled tile saw. Be sure to wear appropriate safety gear when cutting the rock.
Granite is a coarse grained igneous rock without Pyroxene.
No, obsidian rock does not float as it is a dense and heavy igneous rock formed from cooled lava. Its high density causes it to sink in water.
Obsidian cannot float on water. It has a specific gravity about 2.5, meaning it is about two and one-half times as heavy as water and will sink if immersed.
You can determine if a rock can float by comparing its density to the density of water. If the rock is denser than water, it will sink. If the rock is less dense than water, it will float. This can be tested by placing the rock in a container filled with water and observing its behavior.
Virtually all types of rock will sink in water. The only rock that can float on water is pumice.
Obsidian is an glassy, extrusive, igneous rock that is found in areas that have experienced rhyolitic eruptions. Obsidian is formed when the rhyolitic lava comes into contact with water. This quick-cooling results in the glassy texture of obsidian.
Obsidian is an igneous rock.
Obsidian is in the Igneous rock group.
Obsidian typically sinks in water due to its high density. It is a type of volcanic glass that forms from the rapid cooling of lava, creating a material denser than water.
no
Obsidian, the rock that occurs when lava and water mix.
No. Obsidian is volcanic glass. Glass is amorphous and thus noncrystalline.
No, not unless it is somehow shaped into a form that displaces less water than it's mass. Obsidian is volcanic glass, glass is much denser than water, therefore sinks.
