[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4210788, member: 63706"] Is it flourescent? Or is that an effect of the lighting? Looks real glassy like obsidian, but I don't know of any varieties that fluoresce. I found some specimens over the summer that I had a hard time identifying. I ended up learning a lot about amphibole and pyroxene minerals. Still didn't pinpoint the exact type, but determined it was likely an amphibole, sometimes referred to as hornblende, which is the same family of minerals as asbestos and jade. [/QUOTE]
