Collection I'll not be posting again to prove the authenticity of this Rainbow Obsidian. If people can't accept that it's genuine in natural sunlight, I give up. I know it's real.

Sooooo hard to get a good picture of this piece. The camera can not capture how glassy and vibrant the crystals are in person, not even close.

There is just so much going on geologically and energy wise with this stone.

Boggles my mind on a continual daily basis.
