Description

NOTE: These are small stones but perfect for wire wrap or to drill and out a hoop ring to hang on a necklace.

RARE super high quality Davis Creek rainbow obsidian. These are even more stunning when turned in the light.

The rainbow obsidian deposits of Davis Creek, California are the “gemstones” of rainbow obsidian and world famous. In 2018, the US Forest Service shut down all mining at Davis Creek. The only way to get this material is if you are friends with “the guy” that was mining at Davis Creek for 40 years. He has a stockpile he mined before the location was shut down.

You will receive the one specimen from the lot shown in the photos that is 1 1/2 inch to 2 1/2 inch and weighing 1 to 2 ounces.

NOTE: “Rainbow Obsidian” is just the name of this type of obsidian. It is given that name because the obsidian is found in every color of the rainbow. It does NOT mean you will receive a stone that has every color of the rainbow in it. Some are solid green, some purple, some orange, some a mix of green and blue, some a mix of 3 colors or 4 colors, etc.

Mineral Description
Rainbow Obsidian usually looks quite black but when polished and exposed to a strong light, it shows bands of beautiful rainbow colors. The color layers are caused by refraction of microscopic bubbles and inclusions such as magnetite.

Obsidian is an igneous rock that forms when molten rock material cools so rapidly that atoms are unable to arrange themselves into a crystalline structure. It is an amorphous material known as a “mineraloid.” The result is a volcanic glass with a smooth uniform texture that breaks with a conchoidal fracture.

The colors are thought to be caused mainly by trace elements or inclusions. Occasionally two colors of obsidian will be swirled together in a single specimen. The most common color combination is black and brown obsidian swirled together – that’s called “mahogany obsidian”

The conchoidal fracture of obsidian causes it to break into pieces with curved surfaces. This type of fracturing can produce rock fragments with very sharp edges. These sharp fragments may have prompted the first use of obsidian by people to make knives and arrowheads.

  2. Anonymous (verified owner)

    So happy to have received this, and so quickly! I really love the free gift of the calligraphy jasper as well. Thank you!

    I love the rock, it’s beautiful and amazes me with the different colors you’ll find in this particular type of rock. The reason I gave four stars is because I read it wrong and thought I’d get the rock in the photo. Even though I was expecting something else I was still pleased and when I reread the description I found nothing wrong on their end. I am glad to do business with this shop and will buy from them again.

    I absolutely loved my entire order! Everything was packaged very well and shipping was quick. The item perfectly matched the photos. I could not be a happier customer!

  10. Emily (verified owner)

    Thank you for trying to honor requests for the pieces. While I expected to have to have the correct lighting and to look carefully, my items are not of the quality of the photos in the listing. Nice pieces, though!

  11. David (verified owner)

    A very interesting piece of Rainbow Obsidian. The size is great as it provides such a clear example of the bulbous flake that made it so useful to mankind! Great store!

  12. Janet (verified owner)

    So excited to receive this rainbow obsidian rough, since I have been so curious to see what rainbow obsidian rough looked like in person. Each of the four pieces I ordered is so cool! They have rainbows and flash on the smooth surface even in indoor lighting (!), and interestingly, different textures to the rainbow layers. can not really see the rainbow or flash on the rough surfaces, but I can see and feel the different textures of the rainbow layers, which is really cool. they are thin enough that you can see the translucency when held to a light. Great quality pieces and the listing photos were representative of what I received. Love them! Thank you!

  13. David (verified owner)

    Fantastic specimen of this Davis Creek Rainbow Obsidian. Can’t wait to get it out into daylight! I’m often checking in with this store to see what is new. I know this seller sends the best available. Don’t wait

  14. Sanaria Fadel (verified owner)

    Luv it nice piece.

  15. Alexis Greenwood (verified owner)

    Lovely picks for me! I absolutely loved the raw rainbow obsidian. Obsidian has natural jagged/sharp sides and edges, but the seller made them extra safe while still keeping the crystal’s raw beauty. One was kept, and one was gifted. Thank you!!!

  16. Jenny Rezac (verified owner)

    I was quite impressed with this item. It was exactly as pictured. I was surprised how quickly I received my order. Highly recommend this vendor!

  17. Baker (verified owner)

    Excellent piece of raw obsidian. I greatly appreciate the instructions to go outside for best light, and to be careful of chipping. Very difficult to capture rainbowness on camera. Described accurately, packed safely, and shipped fast. Came with a little orange aventurine gift piece, thank you!!

  18. Virginia (verified owner)

    This isnt a deeply carved piece so dont expect a huge rainbow effect still worth the price best viewed in natural light

  19. colleen phelps (verified owner)

    I was very happy with this stone. The quality of it is great. I like how you sent a note letting me know that you need natural sunlight to bring the colors out in the stone. Also, let me know that the stone is sharp. Thank you for that. I would definitely recommend you to friends and family.

  20. Ian (verified owner)

    love the colour in the rocks

  21. Absolutly Not (verified owner)

    gorgeous in the sunlight, love the sanded edges so no one gets hurt
