Since you've identified it as man-made, I believe it's called bakelite which was used for frying pan handles and old electric irons. Even old telephones were made with it. It is a moldable plastic that when baked at about 400 degrees F, for about 2 hours, solidifies into rigid plastic. It was replaced with a variety of more resilient plastics. In fact, automotive distributer caps are still made out of Bakelite which is thermally and electrically non conductive and resistant.
If you find ''obsidian'' where it's not likely to be found, it's probably glass. Often the refund value of a bottle wasn't worth carting it back 100 miles, and it's just more fun to break :p BTW, the purple glass was clear when it was manufactured, but contained manganese dioxide which changed the color if exposed to UV radiation (Sunlight) for a long time.
BwaaHaHa 1:55 fooled me and broke my brain trying to guess what rock sounds like glass😆🤣😵💫 You're a trickster and this was fun😝P.S. Ne-VA-da sounds better than Ne-Vaah-duh to me.
Black glass was invented in the 1700s by Andrea Vidaore. In the 1800s, it became popular in mens fashion in Europe, Russia, and places like that. Black glass is made from soda-lime-silica with a colorant add like iron sulfate, iron oxide, manganese, iron, nickel, and cobalt. It was in the 1920s and 30s that American manufacturers started making black glass. I was going to guess obsidian. Ai overview. Peace and Ahev
Man made silicate sand glass of the past used (and presently uses) various elemental trace mixtures for coloring. Black glass, brown glass, yellow glass, orange glass, red glass, green glass, light green, (UV sunlight turned) clear to purple glass, ... cobalt blue, and sunflower blue glass. Manmade glass has a rough blunt ... or a sharp edge break - it is sharp !, but not micron razor sharp. Black obsidian naps shards with conchoidal ring fracturing (curvilinear arc breaks). Obsidian develops insanely micron sharp razor edges - sharper than manmade metal scalpels and knives. Manmade glass is a high silicate glass - with an optional minority volume of elemental coloring tinctures and/or elemental additions for high strength glass containers. Obsidian lava glass is high pure silicon quartz glass - but ONLY composed of massive elemental iron and/or manganese, creating the dark black tinting.
Ne-vaah-daah is correct...if you are Spanish. But 90+% of current US and Nevada residents will be VERY confused or write you off as a tourist. Ne-VAH-dah (ah as in ahchoo) is locally correct and widely understood.
I'm guessing obsidian which is one of my favorites an volcanic glass which I like a lot too I would have never guessed glass pollution 😁😆😄🤓💯🐝 you tricked us😉😎
This is absolutely fantastic.. My car's license plate is "OBSDYAN"

Many chemicals are affected by UV light.
As is beer, which is why beer comes in colored glass too.
Obsidian
Obsidian. Marry me. lol

the one in the medal is volcanic glass
I definitely thought it was obsidian.

Great info and tour of different formations!
In that region, it's gotta be obsidian or slag glass. If it were flat and platy or (even better) flexible, I'd guess biotite mica.
Flint, or lead, or feldspar? Shenanigans!

Dang nabbit wrong again BUT I got some of the hand shadows the dog and horse, the other eluded me thank you
They are beutiful, this is what matters
It's a rock. Probably.

Apache blood
Thanks beautiful
I thought it was obsidian!
Off topic - your fingernails are filthy- I love it - a true geologist. 😎
Or farmer, or crafter, or lolol...look just like mine, all I can tell ya. 😄
boy, am i bad at guessing....
😂😂😂
Obsidian?
boy i was wrong lol
Do you only do western geology?
what is western geology?
Thanks beautiful
