Mexican Rainbow Obsidian, also called Jalisco Obsidian, is a pure form with high flash in bright colors that captivates collectors. Most pieces show a single flash color, though multiple colors occasionally appear. Unlike Velvet Obsidian, the magnetite flows in one direction, creating the characteristic effect. The flash only appears at certain angles under bright light, similar to fire opal's color play. All varieties are visually impressive and make stunning jewelry pieces.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
A budget-friendly entry into Jalisco Rainbow Obsidian at a working trimmer size. Well-suited to single-cab slab projects without the commitment of a larger cutter.
PERFECT FOR
• Single cabochon projects
