Tri-Flow Obsidian from Glass Butte, Oregon, is a mahogany obsidian variety featuring multiple flow patterns and grain currents that create mesmerizing designs. The obsidian between flow lines is often pure and nearly transparent when backlit or cut thin. The pattern layers create designer-grade cabochons for high-end jewelry. Color comes from magnetite in the lava flow, giving it the characteristic mahogany appearance. This material is increasingly difficult to find, with most market slabs being old stock.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
Tri-flow pattern with good flash on a piece already cut means the character is confirmed. Versatile - either a display slab after polish or one large dome cabochon.

• Display slab
