Probably hauled out from the west.  It is a proven trade route, with obsidian being traded along it for hundreds of years.  Justin

Its real easy to tell.  Just hold the rock in your hand and smack it with a hammer.  If you still have all your fingers and don't need stitches, its not obsidian.   ;D Justin

  If it's bubbly,I'm betting on slag glass.
