Tri-Flow Obsidian Rough - mahogany flow with magnetite - old stock Glass Butte
This old stock Tri-Flow Obsidian shows the great tri-flow outflow pattern and looks like it would cut beautifully. It also has nice magnetite, and cutting it like a biscuit is likely the direction to go to capture that magnetite flow. It comes from a collection that carried a lot of fire as well, and this piece shows hints of that capability.
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.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL This is old stock material with tri-flow outflow pattern and magnetite, from a collection that carried real fire potential.
