Thank you for sharing!! My husband and I have been to Davis Creek about 15 years ago and still have all of our needle, as well as other obsidian. I always wondered how to remove the yucky areas, and now we're going to use your method! I love the purple hues!
Really fun stuff! I hadn't realized that obsidian came in so many colors. I especially like the gray striped stuff. 🎄Merry Christmas, Mr and Mrs Jaws Jr!🎄
I like this video. As for safety advice, I would suggest glasses of some sort when chipping off edges to look for color at the source. If you handle heavier rocks, especially when wet or with freshly broken edges, the gloves idea becomes more important the heavier the rock is, one slip and you could lose a finger or worse.
Wow, some really nice pieces. I like the grey and purple ones. I like the pressure washing demo, I have a few rocks that have hard crusts, I usualy soak them for days. Happy New Years to you and your family. 🐕🐾
@9:50 Looks like the thirty + pound chunk I pulled from a trench on Glass Mountain. That stuff is gorgeous in the good light! It really needs strong daylight to show well.
BTW, your method of cleaning is much better than mine. I just chipped it off. Wore gloves, a welding hood and welders leathers. I'm glad I did lolololol
Unfortunately, I realized the music was too loud and not right for this vide after it was up for a few days and I went back to re-watch it. We all make errors, I will do better in the future... that obsidian was magnificent.
Obsidian is seriously amazing!!

Nice tip using the pressure washer!

Totally agree. After my years as a Union Ironworker I am a total believer in hand shoes!

Here in New Mexico we get a lot of banded rhyolite in the same vicinity of the exposed obsidian veins. Grey rock could have been that.
Hiya, I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas! Loved the video. Cya!
Hopefully the next video is on a sunny day so the obsidian colors show up more vividly ☀️
Thanks for sharing
That’s an awesome hat!
Way good idea!
I do wonder if we still get obsidian, all ice now after this.
Some pretty stuff !
Yes it is very pretty!!!!
Love those grey ones

Maybe "grey sheen", "ghostly" or "Cloudy"? I have some also, but, do not remember an official name for it.
Pls turn music off.. nice pieces!!!!

Silver sheen obsidian
Silver sheen is black. As it is turned in the light, it gets a metallic silver color, usually in very, very fine lines tightly compacted together.
