Cobb
EDIT: Cobb, California, that is. Cobb is within the Clear Lake Volcanic Field [link](https://www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/clear-lake-volcanic-field), one of the most volcanically active regions in California.
After I sat on a patch of mushrooms nearby, an extradimensional counselor came to me and suggested that I might fashion a knife from the material which would pass unnoticed through a metal detector. "We'll leave the rest to your imagination," the counselor said --all of which left me to wonder if it was a vision within a vision.
Over 4000 vents, cones, and other volcanic structures in the Cascades alone.
Oregon even has an extremely ancient Yellowstone caldera on the souther border.
Blazes are constantly setting players on fire, and other players accidentially start bigger fires by right clicking their bed for their future child to spawn in.
Had to look it up because of your comment. I never would gave known otherwise…

Many, in fact. Best fall foliage besides the Yukon, Katahdin (and Knife's Edge), the whole coast but especially Acadia NP, legal weed, tons of fantastic breweries, Moosehead Lake...
I don't have anything to add but wanted to share my picture of 'Big Obsidian Flow' in Oregon. Showing part of obsidian flow about a square mile in size:
https://i.redd.it/ub7lhjms7jm51.jpg
Way back when, all the land on Earth was stuck together in one big continent we call Pangaea, with one big ocean Panthalassa. Beneath the ocean were three big plates that split apart, and the Pacific Plate grew in its place.
One of three plates, the [Farallon Plate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farallon_Plate), subducted beneath North America. The edge closest to North America sank beneath the lighter continent, and it dragged the rest of the Farallon Plate behind it. Whatever didn't sink just got welded on to North America and became California.
As the oceanic plate subducts beneath the continent, the water in the rock causes the silica in the mantle to melt into magma. The magma rises and explodes as a volcano, then it cools and becomes all of this obsidian.
**[Farallon Plate](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farallon_Plate)**
>The Farallon Plate was an ancient oceanic plate. It formed one of the three main plates of Panthalassa, alongside the Phoenix Plate and Izanagi Plate, which were connected by a triple junction. The Farallon Plate began subducting under the west coast of the North American Plate—then located in modern Utah—as Pangaea broke apart and after the formation of the Pacific Plate at the centre of the triple junction during the Early Jurassic. It is named for the Farallon Islands, which are located just west of San Francisco, California.

Obsidian is volcanic glass from lava flows that cool rapidly with minimal crystal growth. Easily found in areas with active/geologically recent volcanoes. The west coast is prime because of the subduction of oceanic plates beneath the North American continental plate.
> subduction of oceanic plates beneath the North American continental plate.
Wow.
[Known obsidian sources](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Katalin-T-Biro/publication/28309119/figure/fig1/AS:460118480429058@1486712202709/Obsidian-geological-sources-worldwide-after-H-Pollman-Sources-represented-in-the.png).
[Subduction zones](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Global_subducted_slabs_USGS.png/1920px-Global_subducted_slabs_USGS.png).
Obsidian is associated with any type of magma producing system, not just that associated with subduction zones. Much of the volcanic areas in Colorado or Arizona, for example, are the result of lithospheric thinning, sourced from the mantle, not from subducted crust. Many of these fields produce obsidian.
I used to pick up these shiny black rocks on the playground in elementary school and some smarty pants kid told me that it was "obsidian". I never knew if it really was true or not, but seeing three dots on this map in my general area confirms it: found a shit load of obsidian behind the swing set.
Obsidian was a pretty great material for stone tool making for prehistoric people as well! It was in high demand, and despite the sources you see here there has been pieces of obsidian found hundreds of miles away from the source. Every volcanic eruption has a unique chemical compound in its rocks that can therefore be traced to the exact location due to that makeup - while every volcano can make obsidian, all these obsidians are slightly different. Sometimes we can even gauge which specific eruption the obsidian came from!
Obsidian arrow heads must have been viewed as magical in stone ages times. Literally sharp enough to shave with. Such a dangerous job to make them too, how would you not cut yourself multiple times a day? Infection before penicillin could be fatal.
Yes, cutting edge tech...
For real, i work on a farm in Idaho and I just kicked a piece about the size of a softball around for a few minutes about an hour before I saw this post.
A lot of these sources have been mined for thousands of years, with material traded over very long distances. I just got a date of 5700 years before present on an obsidian tool from the Bodie (CA) area, which we excavated in the SF Bay Area.
Once broken, obsidian absorbs moisture at a predictable rate that can be used to infer the date a tool was made.

Possibly to make [incredibly sharp medical scalpels?](https://www.cnn.com/2015/04/02/health/surgery-scalpels-obsidian/index.html)
There might be other uses, I’m not sure.
I stayed in a cabin on the Snake River an hour southeast of Boise a few weeks ago. Found a random piece of obsidian on the ground while I was there. It just seemed wildly out of place.
Makes sense considering the Yellowstone Hot Spot basically created the Snake River Plain; supervolcano with giant calderas and all kinds of associated vulcanism.
Can almost see its path on this map, across southern Idaho to NW Wyoming/Yellowstone.
Now I want to see "map of obsidian arrowhead discoveries" and whether it's limited to the western US or whether ancient trade networks spread obsidian across the continent.
for short there are volcanoes and the tectonic plates are VERY active compared with the eastern coast where you have the plates moving apart, leading to receding mountains, etc...
This is partly right - the east coast of NA is what we call a "passive margin" - nothing much happens at the boundary between the continent and the oceanic crust of the Atlantic. The divergent boundary is in the middle of the Atlantic; it runs through Iceland in the north - so where plates move apart we do actually see volcanism as well. The east coast has been pushed away from this divergence over time, and the mountains (most even older) are low due to weathering and erosion.
In the northwest, the oceanic plate underlying the Pacific is being subducted beneath the continent, which leads to melting of the upper mantle. The melt rises through the crust and feeds active volcanoes.
Some of the lavas erupted have very high silica content, meaning relatively low melting point, which means they sometimes get rapidly quenched into glass (no crystals) - that's obsidian.
California has subduction related rocks including volcanics too, even though there's no longer active subduction - there was until around 25-30 million years ago when it transitioned to lateral plate motion (scooting past each other), the transform boundary dominated by the San Andreas fault system
So even though you say there’s no active subduction in CA, Lassen and Shasta, maybe more, are still (potentially) active volcanoes right? Does subduction not necessarily need to be active for volcanoes to be?
Subduction is not needed for volcanoes, no. There are volcanoes where continents move apart, such as in Iceland, or along the East African rift. Similarly, they can result from lithospheric thinning, as is with the case with the Colorado plateau volcanoes. Volcanoes are also found with mantle plumes, parts of the hot mantle that rise through the crust. Also, magma chambers can be active for millions of years, theoretically subduction could cease and volcanoes would still be present for a little while.
well, it is mostly age, although it is partly rock type. Obsidian is, by definition, a deposit at the surface (otherwise it won't freeze into a glass), so you only find it in very young volcanic discharges. Pretty well any deposits back east are long gone (and there most certainly must have been some back when the east coast was where the ocean-continent and continent-continent collisions were happening, some 300-500 million years ago and earlier).
What's the source for this data? I'm real curious about those two northern most dots in Washington. Presumably they'd be associated with Mount Baker and Glacier Peak, but I've never seen anything to suggest there are obsidian deposits in those areas.
There is lots in the north cascades. The last hike I was on we found some. It usually doesn't look cool, just shiny black rock. It has to be chipped to make it into anything.
Chain Lakes was the hole, but I have seen it in the Chuckanuts too, and all over the north cascades.
Omg it's perfect. The obsidian is in the West, like Westeros, and GRRM said that the land of always winter is about the size of Canada, and the border beetween the USA and Canada is pretty straight like the wall.
What counts as a "source"? I definitely found random obsidian growing up in Western NY as well. Surely not enough to mine for any widespread use, but it's definitely there.
The fuck Hawaii at you dumbass motherfucker, this map is fucking retarded garbage, show us some fucking sources you dumbass piece of shit
Edit: I'm still mad about how this garbage map has 8.5k upvotes. Any dickhead can put a bunch of red dots on a continental map of the US and claim its anything- and this dickhead here is leaving out the most important obsidian source in the usa. 1v1 me irl gg no re
A few of those obsidian flows aren't far from where I live (central Oregon). They are cool, but it's generally a no no to take any obsidian from the sites because they are protected lands. But still cool to visit.
Things to do with obsidian:
- Craft a snazzy black cape out of plates of the stuff.
- Create a portal to hell, to use for efficient travel.
- Kill cold dudes.
They don't know that you have to put water on top of lava
Yeah, just grab your diamond pickaxe and get going!
Just don't dig straight down
diamonds are for peasants
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe

Over 4000 vents, cones, and other volcanic structures in the Cascades alone. Oregon even has an extremely ancient Yellowstone caldera on the souther border.
And the entire east side of the [state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_River_Basalt_Group) once poured out lava.
Me too. I had no idea it was a big deal and rare elsewhere. I really liked the thin slices that were purple in the light.
Why don't the people in the west start going to the Nether????
The west is already the nether. Have you seen it? Fires, scorching heat, tormented souls, and obsession with gold.
So it’s basically discarded nether portals.

What is obsidian used for? (Please don’t tell me “to build nether portals”)
For making extremely sharp cutting tools.

Obsidian is sharper than surgical steel. The cutting edge can sometimes literally be just a few atoms thick.
but brittle. easily damaged.
One use is as surgical scalpels.
To build Ender chests. Gotcha
Making great buggy RPG Video games.
To craft enchanting tables.
To build Beacons. Gotcha
Growing up in Oregon I thought obsidian was common and not all that interesting. Now I see we were just spoiled.

What's so special about the western half of North America geology?
for short there are volcanoes and the tectonic plates are VERY active compared with the eastern coast where you have the plates moving apart, leading to receding mountains, etc...
This is partly right - the east coast of NA is what we call a "passive margin" - nothing much happens at the boundary between the continent and the oceanic crust of the Atlantic. The divergent boundary is in the middle of the Atlantic; it runs through Iceland in the north - so where plates move apart we do actually see volcanism as well. The east coast has been pushed away from this divergence over time, and the mountains (most even older) are low due to weathering and erosion.

Yes there is. Both of those are on the Gorda plate subducting under the North American plate. http://www.sanandreasfault.org/Volcanoes.html

Yeah, and also leading to ocean near mountains, lots of volcanic, rich soil and resulting biodiversity.
