The price of obsidian varies with type and rarity. Obsidian is sought out by mineral collectors who want to display and enjoy it. It is also bought up by those who want to fashion it into jewelry and other objects. Obsidian, or volcanic glass, has a range of values that depend on the piece being sold or the chunk or object assessed for value. The curious person might start by looking on eBay to see some examples of the specimens for sale, and also some of the many, many pieces of jewelry made from it. It can also be fashioned into book ends, Chess pieces, and just about anything else that other minerals can be made into. And the prices or "value" of these things will vary as broadly as the item being looked at. Just as you would expect. An example: Rainbow Obsidian is one of the most beautiful varieties of obsidian, but it is still not expensive. Retail values of Rainbow Obsidian generally won't go over the $40-50 per pound range..... Unless... Obsidian is volcanic glass. Little white flecks of ash or streaks of impurities are fairly common. I once owned a 26 pound Rainbow Obsidian Sphere. It was rare because of its size and the absence of ash. The retail value of that piece could be two to three times the normal rate because of its rarity.
Obsidian is a type of volcanic glass with value based on its ornamental uses in jewelry-making, as tools, and for its perceived metaphysical properties. Prices can vary based on size, quality, and rarity, but it generally has a modest value compared to other gemstones.
Obsidian can cost as little as 4$ per pound, but that is a little cheap. It usually costs around 8$ per pound. It also depends on what type of obsidian and how much impurities are in it. ex: Rainbow obsidian costs roughly 15$ per pound if it has minor amounts of impurities in it.
Depending on quality, type, and rarity, it can be anything from $4.00 for lower quality stones, to $40.00 per pound for the rarist type of obsidian, rainbow obsidian.
Not very much as it is a very common rock. Obsidian is volcanic glass and is abundant where there has been volcanic activity.
