Fire Obsidian is one of the most sought-after varieties of natural volcanic glass. Its iridescent colors are created by microscopic layers within the obsidian and become visible only when viewed at the proper angle under directional light. Every piece is completely unique.
Please Note: This is a preform, not a fully finished cabochon. Minor grinding and polishing remain before the final mirror finish is achieved. The intensity of the fire naturally changes depending on lighting and viewing angle.
