Obsidian is an extrusive rock and is formed from rapidly cooling magma.
Obsidian is also known as volcanic glass and one can find only sub-microscopic crystals in it. This is because it was cooled too fastly for large crystals to form. If the material that obsidian consists of were an intrusive rock and had a lot of time to cool down, one would find that it would be composed of easily visible crystals.
