Platinum Obsidian Polished Stone Slab
This beautiful Platinum Obsidian polished stone slab is 2.25 inches or 57 mm in diameter.
The Warner Mountains are famous for the variety of obsidian found there and for the four obsidian mines located within a few miles of US Hwy 395 in northeast California.
The Platinum Obsidian does not have the flash, but has lovely shimmery silver banding.
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.
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.
