Lethally sharp, obsidian weapons are also quite brittle. The sheer force of a blow from an obsidian-edged sword is said to be capable of cleaving a horse in two. Of course, obsidian-tipped projectiles are almost incapable of causing serious injury to armored men.
Obsidian is a naturally occurring glass which is formed by volcanic material rapidly cooling.
