#13 - Obsidian - a clue and one step closer

The woman from the Art Center who took us on the Dallas Anderson tour reviewed the Hunt list and gave me some suggestions, including asking about obsidian at Avenue Jewellers on College Ave. in town. Since I was passing by anyway on Sunday afternoon, I popped in and asked a woman who was working behind one of the counters if they carried any. She wasn't familiar with it but had a gem handbook, so we looked it up and found it's more of a stone than a precious gem. I asked if I could have a photo of the page in the book, she said, "Oh, sure!", but instead of letting me take a photograph of it she went to a photocopy machine and copied the page for me.

Here it is. Thanks, L., from Avenue Jewellers.



The bead shop down the street didn't have any, but knew what it was. There's another bead shop a bit further on, past the train tracks, so I'll check there next.
