A spalled face shows the fresh interior where the stone has broken with the curved, shell-like fracture obsidian is known for, giving it sharp edges and a raw, glassy surface. It has a stark, clean look that makes it popular for display, flintknapping, and lapidary use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese specimens are available as individual spalled halves, or two spalled halves of a cobble. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1357\" data-start=\"807\"\u003eThis material is generally associated with the Glass Buttes volcanic field, a famous Oregon obsidian locality west of Burns known for producing a wide range of obsidian varieties, including black, mahogany, rainbow, and sheen material. Obsidian forms when silica-rich lava cools so quickly that atoms do not have time to organize into crystals, leaving behind a natural glass instead of a crystalline rock. That rapid cooling is what gives obsidian its smooth texture, conchoidal fracture, and razor-sharp edges. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1751\" data-start=\"1359\"\u003eMetaphysically, black obsidian is often associated with protection, grounding, and truth. Many people are drawn to it as a stone for cutting through emotional clutter, exposing what has been buried, and creating a stronger sense of energetic boundaries. Its direct, no-nonsense appearance has made it a long-standing favorite for people who want a stone that feels solid, serious, and strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4yOj_y9fMWY?si=FcFjD5LWL0d4AQPk\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch How These Pieces Were Mined Here!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/strong\u003e: SiO2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChakra\u003c\/b\u003e: Earth Star\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmall\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 8cm x5cm x5cm\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 310g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge \u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 12cm x8cm x5cm\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 425g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1pc OR a matching pair\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
