Here was a smaller project that I recently completed. It was a last minute deal but still turned out wonderful.
This is Obsidian but it's a variety called "fire obsidian" which it gets its color from nano-crystalized layers of magnetite.
Rainbow obsidian is not the same as fire and it doesn't get it's color from magnetite. There is a huge difference there.
It's only found in Oregon, USA and nowhere else in the world and currently, a finished piece can go anywhere from $25 to $100 per gram.
Like any other gemstone - it depends on color, quality, and clarity.
BUT WAIT!!!
You can't go and dig for it though. It is actually illegal to collect and sell off of BLM land.
There are "claims" where this stuff comes from and they will go after you if you try to claim jump.
Your best bet to find it is to be lucky enough to find some at a shop, online, or at an estate sale.

Cut it up? Only as a last resort. Wear it? In a heartbeat. Larger the better i say, I'll never understand the norm that is tiny cabs for pendants.
Your skill means you could work it without cutting it further. Lucky customer you have there! Fiyahhhh!
You are a Master Craftsman of Obsidian Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very interesting and beautiful stone.👍
The way this stuff shines never stops amazing me.
BEAUTIFUL
What stunning stones. I'm seeing more every day. The tiny tumbler I bought is going well, considering that I'm on alternative power system. As I'm new to your channel, I appreciated the time you took to welcome me to the fold. Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺 😊.
I would be proud to wear it I am a native oregonian so I have grown up with obsidian around and have always loved it. those are 2 stunning pieces of fire obsidian and you brought it out beautifully:)
Brings eyesight to the blind (squirrel)!! WOW!! Beautiful work!
Awesome work as always, my friend.... I gotta show you that blue fire soon..
Love it!! Just the way you did it
Those are both fantastic but wow oh wow that backside of the big one! Dang!
Well that turned out phenomenal! I had no doubts lol. I had no idea what fire obsidian was until I saw you work with it. Yep it's something people need to know about! Great work Kyle. Hope you and the family are well.
Simply beautiful...
So gorgeous❤would def wear that and wouldnt want To cut away that internal fracture(?) away.if that would be my neclase I would want both sides To show coz they are awesome(and the little one is just gorgeous piece❤❤❤)
Great job with these Master kyle👍😁💕
Gorgeous specimens❤
Beautiful work!
Stunning!❤
Beautiful Kyle, I think I would leave it only because the fracture adds another dimension with more color!👍😎👻🌶️
gorgeous
Both are so beautiful. I would definitely wear that little one as a necklace. I don't think the big one should be cut down. It amazing the way it is, flaws and all.
I apologize for any and all positive and kind words That I have said about you and have shared with others regarding/pertaining to your skills and talents and hopefully gravitated them to you so they can see and learn if one so chooses to do so from an expert-master in my opinion. Most of all it is and was a pleasure doing business with you. you do have an understanding of the situation. I believe it best for all parties= LAST PERSONS I EVER WANT TO SEE ANYTHING DISRUTIVE IS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. 2024-I PRAY THAT IT BRINGS MUCH MORE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. MANY BLESSINGS!!!
Don't apologize for anything, friend. Our interactions have been nothing but positive and I appreciate all the support that you have brought to the channel and all of your kind words. 💎
What does "disrutive" mean. First time seeing it.
Like 101. I personally like the smaller one better as I don't see any imperfections. I would cut the bigger one into smaller unique free forms to waste little material as that really is incredible stuff. And I actually do like the smaller piece with that red flash. I would keep it in my watch pocket so I could take it out and admire it like my preciouses. Would hate it if it fell out and a filthy Bagginses picked it up 🤣🤣🤣 Both pieces had a shine ✨️ to be proud of. Excellent job, Kyle.
Wow 🤩, you are still the title holder of HOFOB 😅. Such beautiful craftsmanship. 🔥🔥🔥
❤
I frickin love this stuff amazing I found some fire in my gold sheen it turned out pretty good
One day I would love to own a piece. It has replaced one of my favorites, black opal
Nice .....I have some Violet purple Color Obsidian Stone
What a beautiful stone. The colors are fabulous. You did a great job.
They’re gorgeous! I would wear that for sure.
Imagine this stuff knapped into an apparohead(arrow head for wearing, not hunting)
Polished like that.
Looks like triple flow. Has those layer of clear in it. Very high quality.
Thank you for the video! I recently got a larger sized rough stone and I’m so nervous to cut it up!
The value of the piece would increase with the crack cut. Three smaller stones without visable flaws should increase price per carat. Beautiful obsidian ❤❤❤
I wonder if Opticon would make that white line "disappear"? (Maybe have to heat / warm the stone up first?) The internal fracture has its own color effect and is kind of cool IMO but hiding the white line might be nice
I don't quite understand. Did the conchoidal fracture create that cool looking flash of fire in that one spot, or was that just a conchoidal fracture that went through a fire layer?
That is one big honkin piece of fire obsidian. Great work 👍
There was the initial fracture that I worked out. The one that was running through it was a separate fracture. Could've been worse though!
Yes, "claims."
Gorgeous! Do you ever sell the fire obsidian rough?
Nobody does...
