Description
Tri-Flow Obsidian Slab – Rare Old Stock Mahogany Obsidian from Glass Butte, Oregon
Measurements (inches - longest - approx): 4.9 x 2.7 x .24
Elevate your lapidary projects with this stunning old-stock Tri-Flow Obsidian slab from Glass Butte, Oregon—a rare and visually striking variety of mahogany obsidian known for its flowing, layered patterns and deep contrast. This material features intricate currents of black, red, and brown bands, created by magnetite-rich lava flow, giving it a dramatic and almost liquid appearance.
When cut thin or held to light, the pure areas of obsidian are often semi-transparent, revealing beautiful internal clarity. This makes Tri-Flow Obsidian ideal for creating designer-grade cabochons, display pieces, and polished slabs. It takes an exceptional high-gloss polish, showcasing its natural glassy finish.
