Fifty shades of green... Our trip through Iceland: Encaustichris and the obsessive Obsidian Seekers...
Today, from Loa's nest, we're looking for Obsidian (Hrafninnusker in Icelandic).
Obsidian is a semi-precious stone, also called lava glass.
It occurs because lava solidifies under great pressure and is so hot that the sand melts.
Obsidian is black in color, and I love it.
During our first summer trip to Iceland, I found it, in Landmannalaugar, where a stream runs.

Special, that red waterfall. And also very special that there is exactly some of that red in that obsidian.
another wonderful experience to be able to ride there. I came up with the sound myself and I've already enjoyed it. Tomorrow off with sound. On to next year because the maintainer wins!! But super sweet again and got two nice chunks.
@marijke it was so beautiful! And sure it will work next year 😁
That obsession is understandable, while black is not my favorite color
@missmuhimu not my favorite color either, but that rock has an appeal 😊
I was just about to say, “It's like a lunar landscape” and so where you said it. Impressive beautiful story, weather and beautiful photos, of course.
Beautiful photos again! And that video with the horses. delightfully. And that man behind the horses. Friendliness top.
@Kinderworkshops Petra It's almost not going to be Icelandic.!
Although I only have a very small and tumbled piece of obsidian at home, I feel a lot safer at once. Nice adventure!
@The Creative Bumblebea when I go again next year I'll try to think of you.
