- Obsidian can be found wherever there has been volcanic activity. That's right... obsidian is just lava that has cooled very, very quickly! Natalie unboxes a couple different types and explains everything you need to know about #obsidian.

"My knowledge of obsidian is. It's a type of natural glass, you can get it in many colors and patterns, it's in westerros and minecraft" .
*Seconds later* "Hey, actually, I know everything about obsidian"
Learning more in a 5 min. Video than in 1-4 years
" So you think parents have a favorite child " is the best line
Ya know, I know absolutely nothing about geology or gemology, however in the hour or so I've been watching this channel, I learned way more than I expected! It's awesome what you were able to do with my lost cause of a brain. I subscibed!
That's great! Glad we could help educate you and turn you into a JTV fan/subscriber!
So, obsidian is a gemstone, but one without a crystal structure? Cool. Rapidly cooled, that is.
LamanKnight ok FAM
The rapid cooling bit is bunk.
Its a rock
I have a piece of obsidian from Hawaii with flecks of green in it that only show up when light hits it just right. Could you do a video on why obsidian can range so much in color and appearance and (specifically) what could cause iridescence in it?

I love your videos even though im not into gems and rocks they are intresting to watch and most videos are beautiful
boilingSoul38 I agree though I came here mostly for science and all.
Thank you!! :)
I learned in the old times, the stone age, they used to use it as weapons or to cut. I learned that they can be all sorts of colors. I know there can be some big ones, small ones, and medium ones. They were also used to look at the sun.
Es hermoso en lo que se convierte la lava! Yo tengo una piedra de lava en mi casa 🙌🏻
I absolutely love snowflake obsidian! I was so excited when you pulled it out of the box
“You stick your hand in a bag of obsidian and you don’t know what you’re gonna get…”
A cut ._.
Aw, I just just commented something similar lol
Rustle around the bag enough, get some static electricity going, if it can make a full ring reaction, you might lose your finger to a small portal in there as well.
I have this large chunk (about the size of an adult human's head) it is pure black with no visible streaks/stripes or anything like that, sadly it's currently only being used as a doorstop
Loved the show. I love rocks and have since i was a child. Stuffed my nose full of tiny rocks while playing outside in our dirt driveway - about 63 years ago lol. Was telling my granddaughter the tale cause we watched a tv show (9 1 1) and a little boy shoved a toy car up his nose. Took geology classes in college and wished i had made it a career. Gid bless you all!
I have found blue obsidian in the woods near my house in PA.
Thanks a lot💕🤗👌 nice way of teaching. Keep it up.🙏. Liked & subscribed done.
I think i found a huge chunk of obsidian today! Been wondering wht it was for a while now, though it was a piece of rusty metal until i picked it out and broke it in two! Its glassy, its black and has big air pockets in it!
Really enjoy these videos you put out. When I was a kid I was really into looking at all the rocks I found in the creek behind my house to see if it was something rare and I liked seeing the big gem stones at museums. One critique I have and its no biggie....is that the videos seem dark...like the lighting or brightness is dark...I crank the brightness on my laptop/phone and TH-cam gets super bright white, but the videos are still dark, and have a in the shadow appearance. IDK no big deal :)
If you want to see a mountain of obsidian go to Glass Buttes in Oregon it is the largest obsidian deposit in the world
This is some good information! Also, may use the clip of you saying that obsidian can easily break when dropped on the floor?
From my grade four class!
What we learned is:
1. There are different types of obsidian
2. There are many different colours of obsidian
3. There are many shapes of obsidian
4. Obsidian is a rock that happens when a volcano erupts (igneous)
5. Obsidian was used for weapons and tools
6. There can be some rocks that are soft and some rocks that are hard. Obsidian was 5
7. Some obsidian that is really sharp can be used as scalpels in the medical field
Our questions were:
Where did you find the obsidian?
What is the one that looks like an egg called? (grey and white one)
No blue obsidian??? Thee most gorgeous one!
I found an obsidian chunk covered in dirt on my elementary school playground. Turned out it was the tip of an arrow.
This is very helpful thank you sooo much!
:D
My son Jayden said, "my favorite thing I learned about Obsidian is that it was used to make weapons. My favorite type of Obsidian is the sharp flat one."
Man that set my trypophobia off and gave me the chills. It looks like it has mold growing on it.
I loved the sheen obsidian
I have a question. Why did it cool so quickly as to avoid crystallization? Is Obsidian from the portions of magma that cooled quickly by oozing into water (oceans/lakes/streams)?
Obsidian doesn’t always form just due to rapid cooling.
The green stuff from Mexico is sweet.
How practical is it's use in jewelry?
Hey how much obsidian will need to build a portal? Have ever tried?
Fnyx MC in Minecraft and if so its like 15 blocks
Actually you need a bare minimum of 10, and I',m pretty sure the maximum is 529, although that could have been changed.
Fnyx MC minimum of 10 where you don’t have corner blocks (or they’re something else like dirt)
Fnyx MC
Is that a reference to a Minecraft Nether portal? xD
{} AzulExePastel {} yeah sure it is😊
You can find in on 2b2t

Mam may i ask. what kind of stone this? Pls my video
I have alot of black obsidian and other lava stone in my yard and in the forest behind me in Hartford Wisconsin where there is no evidence of volcano ever why?
Today, there is no volcanic activity, but thousands of years ago there could have been.
I know people who were surprised to learn about previous volcanoes in Utah.

Have you seen any faceted obsidian.
The video quality is super dark. Need you some lights!
Why does Obsidian have a pink and Blue color to it when the sunlight hits it
Hi Nicholas! Rainbow obsidian shows colors because of the interaction of light with included nanoparticles of magnetite.
@@gems thankyou for replying.

Again I love how your channel tries to show different specimens with raw samples. Good to know.

WHO CARES
Bold Skeleton// Skell FX We could use that same arguement to you commenting first. No one cares if you're first, you're really just disrespecting the creator by putting unrelated spam in their video
Geeks and nerds are my favorite kind of human which is what makes this channel so damn good.

Keith??? Where the frick is Lance
Love this channel ❤ Been a rock hound most my life. I have learned so much watching you all! Thank you 😊
I'm hooked on obsidian.
It is also found far from places with volcanic activity. It's found in most places where early humans lived.
Makes great arrowheads and really is very sharp. I generally get small cuts working with obsidian and don’t with other stones.

I'm going to assume you would like "Houseki no Kuni". It's an anime about gemstones that just came out.
