Sandoval County, New Mexico, United States
There are numerous locales named ‘Obsidian Ridge’, and although we don’t have any specimens from the others currently, its worth getting ahead of it!
Showing the single result
Obsidian Ridge is, simply, a volcanic ridge famed for its Obsidian occurences.
The site is sometimes difficult to access; the land around the area is prone to wildfires and the closest road was (maybe still is!) closed and blocked by fallen and burned pine trees.
Amongst the burned standing ponderosa pine trees, visitors may find glittering black glass; natural Obsidian.
