      It's not all fake, but the natural stuff does not look like this. You can see from the raw form that it's folded and poured, not a natural formation out of the ground.

    • @ANPC-pi9vu
      @ANPC-pi9vu Před 8 měsíci +1

      Glass decorative objects including spheres made in molds are also on the market and worth far less because they don't acheive the same patterning effect. This way is to mimic how cutting large pieces of natural material would look. You can't create that cut effect in a mold.

      Agreed. Note that this is actually man made glass, not real obsodian, so the waste doesn't matter as it just gets melted back down and added to the next batch eventually. They did a good job imitating the consistency of obsidian, though. Good quality fancy glass for decor.

Most are too stupid to realize this is man made glass and will think it was forged in the earth and thus carries some innate spiritual power. I respect the hustle.

      Makes sense, seeing what they're cutting in the beginning just looks like molten glass that's been poured out and it folds layers on top of each other. Also explains why they weren't too careful with any waste chipping, as they'll just throw it all back into a furnace later and remelt it.

      To answer both of your questions. The wheel is just a grinder, not a cutter. So they may lose a few mm of skin if they touch the wheel too hard. Vision safety is the cooler explanation of the two. What it is, is that they are AAAAAASHIN. So they have built in safety squints. So, not nearly as unsafe, as one might think.

      It sorta looks like there's a piece of rubber or something flexible in front of the blade, that you have to press on quite hard to bend enough to get in contact with the actual cutting part. it's not *safe*, but it looks like it might take some doing in order to progress from a smaller cut to getting your fingers lopped off.

      Sorry, this is man made slag glass, not real volcanic glass. It is still besutiful and takes skill to make, though. Real red obsidian would be rusty tones and opaque because it would be colored with iron oxide, where as vibrant translucent reds require rarer elements like gold. That's why red glass is more expansive than other colors of glass.

    Everything about this video is a surprize I didn't that volcanic glass came in such big sizes, far less that there is enough to supply an entire industry.
    On a personal level I have worked with grinders etc. and the scream they give off is horrendous fortunately that is something we do not get from your video. they must also be itchy constantly with all that glass dust.

    • @ANPC-pi9vu
      @ANPC-pi9vu Před 8 měsíci

      It's not real volcanic glass. It's manmade slag meant to mimic the consistency of obsidian, but in more vivid colors and better clarity than you would normally get from natural deposits. Obsidian can come in a variety of colors depending on what contaminants act as pigments in it. Same with meteor impact glass. The most common range is black to green, or rusty opaque dull reds.

    • @framegrace1
      @framegrace1 Před 8 měsíci

      Yeah, is sold by the ton and is realtivelly cheap ($1 to $6 the kilogram). THere are basts amounts from it in mines from old volcanic eruptions.
      The problem (As you see in the video), is that it has a lot of waste. Is full of cracks and inclusions and to find a nice clear big piece like the ones they use, you have to discrad a lot of material. The bigger the piece, the rarer is to find, so is more expensive.
      They can sold this pieces 100 ot 1000x the price of the rough material.

      A lot more young people in the developing parts of Asia are gettimg educated and going off in search of tech jobs or office jobs, and unintelligent young people might not be able to learn the skill and will do the more menial labor of collecting scrap, etc.
      Also, even the developing world is seeing dropping birth rates in Asia, and if this is China, they are already at a severe sub replacement birthrate due to their draconic population control measures. Old people start to outnumber young people.

    I guess that the geniuses that are saying that the red obsidian a.k.a. volcanic glass must think that pink Himalayan salt has food dye in it.

    • @ANPC-pi9vu
      @ANPC-pi9vu Před 8 měsíci

      You are the idiot here. It's not volcanic. It's man made slag with material mixed in like how glass is colored.
      You can actually imitate Himalayan pink salt. It's just rock salt with mineral contaminants that cause the color. It's not really that special.
      To get obsidian, aka real volcanic glass in such vibrant translucent reds would be highly unlikely in nature due to the elements required being rarer than those that produce opaque black, gray, green, and dull rusty reds.
