It would be easier to tell if you could post a better picture...

Please, reshoot and use a magnifying glass to get a good closeup-it really works!

just a small piece that i got. the big portion of that rock had been own by old people living near the are that the stone found. it is very sharp if it is used to slice a glass.. very shiny, black color, hard rock but it can crack once for a while into pieces like a piece of glass.

for the meantime i will find a magnifying glass to shot for clearer one

I don't have any information about the current market value of obsidian, but some of our other members can probably help you.

I seem to recall seeing black obsidian pieces retailing for about $1 U.S per pound.
