They are found wherever there has been volcanic activity, particularly in North and South America (United States, Mexico, Canada, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, etc.), Australia, Japan, Iceland, but also in Greece and Turkey.

Obsidian was the basis of tools and arrows in Prehistory for its sharp appearance, then throughout the world for various uses. The Aztecs and Mayans considered it a stone of protection.
