It tends to run along a strand and requires considerable practice, patience, and skill to cut slabs and cabs. Fire Obsidian gets its color and flash from \u003cstrong\u003emagnetite\u003c\/strong\u003e - tiny microscopic metal flecks embedded within the volcanic glass. It is easily one of the \u003cstrong\u003emost rare obsidian forms known\u003c\/strong\u003e. Since fire obsidian gets its color from magnetite, it requires \u003cstrong\u003ebright light with the stone at the right angle\u003c\/strong\u003e to display color - under normal conditions, it appears black.
