Can we talk about people calling every shiny black rock obsidian?
I was at a rock swap in Tucson last weekend and saw at least five different tables selling slag glass as 'rare volcanic obsidian' for $20 a piece. It matters because new collectors are getting ripped off and it muddies the real market. How do you even start to explain conchoidal fracture to someone who just got burned?

It's like that with fancy olive oil now too.

What if the fancy bottles are just to hide bad oil?
