 |  | hey guys where can you get Obsidian? |
> I have a rock & jem place close to me and they sell it and flint, but it's hard for him to keep in the store. He gets lots in and people buy it up fast. So its all about timing  . But a rock and jem place is a good place to look out for

Thats been my quest for awhile now, is rock hunting.
That would be a good place to look though. It helps BIG time to know what your looking at as well.
Maybe go online and look up " types " of rock, and go from there.
