The Warner Mountains are famous for the variety of obsidian found there and for the four mines: Pink Lady, Lassen Creek Rainbow, Needles and Middle Fork Davis Creek, that are all located within a few miles of US Hwy 395 in northeast California.
The Pink Obsidian from Pink Lady is a variety of Rainbow Obsidian, but the flash is pink or purple/pink only.
Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass. This glassy, lustrous mineral is found in lava flows. Obsidian is produced when lava cools very quickly. The lava cools so quickly that no crystals can form.
Microscopic crystals of various types of feldspars may yield the unique blue, green, purple or bronze colors associated with Rainbow Obsidian.
The material appears deep black until held under a bright light! It is very hard to photograph.
Obsidian was important to many ancient cultures. It was one of the major barter materials, and has been used since prehistoric times for making tools, masks, weapons, mirrors and jewelry. Obsidian was named after a Roman-Obsius.
