Can Obsidian Be Melted by Lava

Obsidian is cooled lava, so its melting point is the same as the temperature of lava. Just place water at your feet while mining it, it will turn the lava below and/or next to the block you’re mining into Obsidian before either you or the item burns in the lava.

Is it possible to melt obsidian?

Obsidian is mostly silicon dioxide (about 70%), with a good bit of aluminium oxide and then about 10-20% various other oxides. Melting point for silicon dioxide is 1,710 °C, and for aluminium oxide 2,072 °C. You’re going to need a lot of heat for this.

Is obsidian lava resistant?

For other uses, see Obsidian (disambiguation). Obsidian is a dark purple block known for its high blast resistance and strength. It is most commonly found when water flows over lava.
