Talk:Obsidian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glass says that in the US, "obsidian prevention is prohibited by law." Any further information? - Montréalais 08:32, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- "obsidian collection is prohibited...". I'm intrigued, too. EdDavies 22:49, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- I believe it's only the taking of obsidian artifacts from national parks and archaeological sites that's actually illegal. SamEV 08:22, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, that seems to make a lot more sense. I'll put a note on Talk:Glass about it. EdDavies 22:58, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] large piece of Obsidian
I have a large piece of Obsidian, I think its very unusal to find this type in the area that I live (Kitchener, Ontario Canada). If anyone out there has any information on Obsidian and where it is usually found I would be quite interested to hear.
Thanks (Curious)
I would guess that it was eroded out of its primary deposit and carried along with a glacier. Then when the glacier receded, it dropped out. Ask your local university about moraines in your area. Woland37 18:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
