Jürgen Beyer Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 When I light it up it's glows and I can see through. I found the object on a hill, it wasn't lying but was a bit in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twk Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I was thinking obsidian (volcanic glass) but I thought obsidian was grey/black and that looks brownish in the pictures. Do you have a banana for scale? How big is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jürgen Beyer Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 2,1 inches long. Here is a picture where I light it up. And another one from the other side of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im from Oregon and our Obsidian is exactly this color and texture and internally lights same as yours... probably hauled down by indigenous people to sell or trade and in demand for both arror and spear points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZSilver Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I'm thinking it's obsidian. It can be found in east-central Yuma County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
