Description:
Incredibly rare Silver Sheen Obsidian with Blue Sheen and Gas-Like Iridescent Formations from Glass Butte, Oregon. This collector-grade volcanic glass exhibits shimmering silver layers with deep blue reflective zones and unique swirling patterns. A true one-of-a-kind specimen for collectors and energy workers.
Features of Silver + Blue Sheen Obsidian:
Color palette: Glossy black volcanic glass base with bold silver shimmer, deep blue reflective areas, and faint iridescent swirling formations that resemble gas clouds or nebula patterns under direct light.
Patterns: Characterized by flowing layers, chatoyant silver flash, and deep blue highlights. Some specimens show swirling, misty, or gas-like inclusions giving a space-like effect.
Hardness: Around 5–5.5 on the Mohs scale.
Locations worldwide: Found primarily at Glass Butte, Oregon, USA.
Formation: Formed when volcanic lava cooled rapidly, trapping micro-bubbles and mineral inclusions. The silver sheen comes from microscopic crystals aligned within the glass; rare blue reflections and gas-like swirls are created by light interacting with fine layering and suspended gas bubble textures.

Blue Sheen + gas-like swirling formations within Silver Sheen is extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors and lapidarists. These pieces are considered "elite" display material.
