🖤 Damascus Obsidian – Rare Grey Obsidian Rough from Davis Creek with Cutting Potential
This is a rare and desirable chunk of Damascus Obsidian from the Davis Creek area of Northern California. Weighing over 1.5 lbs, this piece features the classic creamy-to-steely grey obsidian that this material is known for. Some areas may show subtle flow patterns or swirls, while others remain more uniform and pure—both styles cut beautifully and polish to a smooth, glass-like finish.
Damascus Obsidian is increasingly difficult to source and is considered rare even among obsidian collectors. It’s an excellent choice for lapidary artists looking for something visually subtle yet dynamic under the right lighting. Whether you're cabbing, slabbing, or displaying, this stone offers a refined, elegant aesthetic.

Photo Disclaimer
I strive to provide accurate, unedited photos that represent each stone as naturally as possible. Most stones are photographed wet to simulate their polished appearance. While I do not use filters or enhancements, please be aware that screen brightness and settings may slightly alter the color you see. If a face has been cut, the final image is usually taken dry to help reveal natural surface characteristics like pits or fractures.
Natural Stone & Fossil Disclaimer
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.
These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations.
