Both terms are found in current language, but obsidian is the correct spelling. It is a kind of glass produced by volcanoes, usually of a black color and opaque.

Obsisian sounds like a typo of people trying to spell obsidian. That would be my guess. Otherwise I've never heard of obsisian.

yup, an obsidian is a thing like dark colored glass. It is an extrusive, or volcanic igneous rock. it is formed when the magma cools and solidyfies too quickly for crystles to form, thus no mineral grain is seen. it is basic in nature.
