He would bring back rocks from wherever he was sent. On a trip back from Florida, he stopped at Mammoth Cave, I believe in KY. He brought me two large chunks of obsidean in royal blue and fire engine red. They were beautiful when you shone a flashlight through them. Dad was told it was native there and it was sold in gift shops all through the area. When I was young, my dad (in the USAF) & I shared an interest in rockhounding.

I saw this b/c I have been searching to find out info about a lamp my grandmother gave me. She said one of my Uncles brought it back from the war (Vietnam perhaps?) I thought she said it was from Germany. But upon my search tonight the only close thing I have found is this http://www.theantiquetraders.com/?p=461 The one I have is round, looks very similar, the colored glass is identical to the one posted here on your site. I can email you a picture if you like. I just really want to know more about it, where's it's from and what it's made of. Chantal Hi.

I just really want to know more about it, where’s it’s from and what it’s made of.

It is a wonderful piece, but as far as obsidian, I am sorry that I would not say that it was, based on the clarity and colors.
