This Saffordite was hand collected in Arizona - I traded a bunch for other stones I carved, and was excited to reveal what was hiding underneath! Each one I carved into a shape that it most resembled, and every one was unique in their own way. This one in particular is pretty dark, but when there is light behind it you can see that there are stripes on the inside. Like hidden treasure. Saffordite aka Cintimani stone has a lot of controversy behind it (depending where you look). Some say it is a Tektite, some a psuedo-Tektite, and some Obsidian. There has been no confirmation of the original source for these pebbles laying over the land near Safford, Arizona. I think these precious nuggets are incredible no matter what they are - some I have seen bubbles in much like Moldavite, and some have banding. When you are able to see through them tho, I personally think is the jackpot <3 Have you researched this stone? What do you think?
