Hey could tell me about this stone please. What state is it from, what's the name of it any thing would be appreciated. Looks like I have some to Orange is brittle the black n clear like dedrictic agate As Alison said, Bob's piece is Glass Buttes obsidian. Yours appears to be agate, however. I don't recall any obsidian with white and green banding. The red in obsidian is also usually as glassy as the rest. The colors and patterns in your agate are ringing bells, but the brain cells aren't releasing the info yet. Perhaps someone will know right away over in the Rock ID section? |

Agate is even better I was wondering if it was. Either way still if oragon makes 3 types rocks I have from there have blue, black and agate forgot the name found it When looking up Oragon opal |

Fabulous, no doubt about it. That said, it could also belong in the" what do you see in a stone" thread, cuz I see Leonid Brezhnev of Russia. Cheers, johnw  |

I wrote about Oregon's Glass Buttes Obsidian in my latest Rock and Gem Magazine submission for my monthly article "Bench Tips". It will be in the magazine either in the March or April issue. The article explains how to select the best pieces and how to cut them. This slab came from a 4-1/2 piece.

To me it looks like flame and wisps of smoke rising from the bowels of tormented hell. I like it.
