    I'm in need of some obsidian I know Glen Coe in Scotland's a Volcanic Caldera so in theory there should be Obsidian nocking around that way? I hear the isle of Arran has some but I'm not sure how abundant it is before i commit to a trip up there to find some does anybody know anywhere else you can find some?

    My history was cleared the other so the links gone. Aye I do recall that the Best place to find it in Europe and the Middle East, it being the best samples, was those mountain ranges

    Yeah Obsidian very rare very expensive ... even small jewellery sized pieces cost a fortune !!!

    A blade sized piece , apart from being as rare as rocking horse manure ,

    would be ... well .... mongo money !!! Have you considered a nice piece of black flint !?!?

    Its all Silicon Dioxide , and I doubt if the White Walkers could tell the difference hey !?!?!
