Fire Obsidian - The rarest of them all

#fire #obsidian #rare #rainbow #viral

Here was a smaller project that I recently completed. It was a last minute deal but still turned out wonderful.
This is Obsidian but it's a variety called "fire obsidian" which it gets its color from nano-crystalized layers of magnetite.
Rainbow obsidian is not the same as fire and it doesn't get it's color from magnetite. There is a huge difference there.
It's only found in Oregon, USA and nowhere else in the world and currently, a finished piece can go anywhere from $25 to $100 per gram.
Like any other gemstone - it depends on color, quality, and clarity.
BUT WAIT!!!
You can't go and dig for it though. It is actually illegal to collect and sell off of BLM land.
There are "claims" where this stuff comes from and they will go after you if you try to claim jump.

Your best bet to find it is to be lucky enough to find some at a shop, online, or at an estate sale.
