OBSIDIAN AND GOLDSTONE ROUGH AND SLABS

Go to INDEX, LARGE SLABS, DOLLAR SLABS, ROUGH BY THE POUND, PREVIOUS, NEXT.

Obsidian is volcanic glass, formed by the rapid cooling of lava flows. Goldstone is not a natural stone at all, but a sparkly, man-made glass. We have slabs of Obsidian and a limited amount of both in the rough and unpolished form. We've seen many beautiful projects from this material, such as cabochons, spheres, rounded sculptures, and arrowheads which have been flint-knapped. We charge one shipping cost for all that will safely fit in a Small Priority Flat Rate box, or padded envelope (up to 4 pounds), and will ship to the U.S. as well as Internationally. Combined purchases over 4 pounds may require extra shipping. See our Store Policies for full details.

Purple Goldstone Rough Block

Large Dazzling Purple Goldstone Rough Block

This is a large piece of rough purple Goldstone, or what may also be referred to as blue Goldstone. The photos don't do it justice - it is very sparkly, and I was only able to capture a little of this with the camera. It is not natural stone, rather man-made glittering, sparkling glass. Similar to the more commonly seen 'red' or copper colored Goldstone, it is the flecks of copper that it is made with that give it the sparkle. It is about 7" x 6 1/2", and 1 7/8 to 2 5/8" thick. It weighs 9 lbs, 6 ounces, or 4.27 kilograms. Like stone, it takes a beautiful polish. Lots of potential with this one for whatever you may have planned. Please note that it will not fit in the small Flat Rate box, so $5 extra is included in the price to cover shipping in the U.S. International buyers, please email first.

Goldstone Slab

Large Sparkly Goldstone Slab

This is a slab of Goldstone. It is not natural stone, rather man-made glittering, sparkling glass. It is the flecks of copper that Goldstone is made with that give it the sparkle. One side appears to be the outside of the material, whereas the other has been sliced. Even dry, the sparkles glitter through in areas, but as you can see in the slide show, when wet (simulating what it will look like once polished), it is full of sparkles, all over! It is 6 1/4" x 4" at its widest points, and 4-15 mm thick. It weighs 12.8 ounces, or 365 grams. Like stone, it takes a beautiful polish.

Obsidian Rough

1 Lb Black and Black with Mahogany Obsidian Rough

This is for 1 pound only of black and mahogany Obsidian rough pieces. In this batch, one piece that looks black might also have the spashes of the mahogany coloring as well, or could be all black. Occasionally there may be a piece of silver sheen or rainbow sheen as well, though no promises on either of these. Some pieces have a skin, while others are just rough chunks. Pieces range from smaller 1-2" up to some larger 4-5" one way. One pound would give you several smaller pieces that we would pack in either the Small Flat Rate Box or padded envelope. It you want more than the one pound, please email us first. Depending on how many pounds, and size preference, there may be an additional shipping cost for a Medium or Large flat rate box. For larger orders we would give a variety of sizes. The pieces in the photos are a good representation of what we have, but you may or may not get any of the specific pieces shown. The pieces were wet in all the photos.

Small Green Glass Rough

3 1/2 lb Man-Made Rough Green Glass

This is another piece of man-made glass. As with the other one above, it's thick, so you can only see the color along the edges. We know there are uses for pieces like this, such as for flint-knapping. It is roughly 6 1/4" x 4" along the sliced side, and up to 2 1/2" thick. It weighs 3 lbs, 8 ozs, or 1.6 kgs.

Goldstone Rough

1 lb 14 oz Piece of Rough Goldstone

This is a piece of rough Goldstone. Pretty material, but it is not natural stone, rather man-made glittering, sparkling glass. It is the flecks of copper that Goldstone is made with that give it the sparkle. This piece is roughly 3 1/4" x 2 1/2" x 3 1/4". It weighs 1 lb, 14 ozs, or 860 grams. It was photographed both wet and dry, and has been shown from several angles. Like stone, it takes a beautiful polish.

Rainbow Obsidian Rough

2.9# Black Obsidian Rough with Rainbow Sheen

We pulled this as a piece of black Obsidian, but saw a little line that we thought might be Silver Sheen. But when we started photographing it, that sheen looks more like Rainbow. It is roughly 5" x 4 1/2" x 1/2 to 2 1/2" thick, and weighs 2 lbs, 9 ozs, or 1.17 kgs. It was photographed wet in the main photo to give an idea of what the material will look like when polished.

Obsidian Rough

2.11# Black Obsidian Rough Piece

This is a piece of black Obsidian. We don't see any signs of the Mahogany in it, and it does not appear to have any kind of sheen to it. It is roughly 4" x 3 1/2" x 3 3/4", and weighs 2 lbs, 11 ozs, or 1.2 kgs. It was photographed wet in the main photo to give an idea of what the material will look like when polished. Please note that it has white spots on the surface and there are also white reflections in a number of the photos.

Obsidian Rough

Rainbow Obsidian Rough Nodule

We thought this piece was Silver Sheen Obsidian, but there is a chipped off edge that when flashed (wet) in the sun, you see a light rainbow. So, we think it is actually Rainbow Obsidian, though we could be wrong. It is roughly 3 3/4" x 3" x 2 1/2-3", and weighs 1 lb, 12 ozs, or 800 grams. It was photographed wet in most photos to give an idea of what the material will look like when polished.
