Obsidian
Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of molten rock, either from volcanic activity or magma cooling below the Earth's surface. Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian. These rocks can have coarse or fine textures depending on the rate of cooling.
Obsidian has a glassy luster, which means it has a shiny and reflective surface similar to glass. This luster is a result of the rapid cooling of lava, which prevents the formation of crystals in the rock.
Obsidian is an igneous rock that forms from lava cooling extremely quickly, preventing the formation of crystals. It is often referred to as a natural glass due to its lack of crystal structure.
Andesite is considered an extrusive igneous rock.
Igneoous rock is made from cooling of magma. Obsidian is a classic example of igneous rock.

Granite is a rock, whereas obsidian is a type of glass formed by cooling lava.
Obsidian
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.
Yes that is why it makes that glassy look to it.
Magma cools and solidifies to form igneous rocks such as granite, basalt, and obsidian depending on the cooling rate and mineral composition.
Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of molten rock, either from volcanic activity or magma cooling below the Earth's surface. Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian. These rocks can have coarse or fine textures depending on the rate of cooling.
Obsidian is an extrusive igneous rock, formed from rapidly cooling lava.
Granite is a coarse grained igneous rock without Pyroxene.
Obsidian has a glassy luster, which means it has a shiny and reflective surface similar to glass. This luster is a result of the rapid cooling of lava, which prevents the formation of crystals in the rock.
Obsidian is a rock that is essentially natural glass. Obsidian is formed by high volcanic heat and very fast cooling (So that crystallization has no time to occur).
