<p>[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 157378, member: 1899"]Wow, now I'm more confused on what it's made of. Nevertheless, thanks for the replies! It is definitely not obsidian or volcanic glass like substance and it's not a volcanic rock. It's more like coal and scratches black on a piece of rough or mat finish white porcelain and does not chip when scratched on the porcelain. Could have been intended as paperweight or a commemorative piece or a display piece for that purpose. The surface has definitely been polished and is part of the original stone and has not been applied to the surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
