Edziza obsidian found in coastal areas of southeast Alaska. Edziza obsidian is a naturally formed volcanic glass found at the Mount Edziza volcanic complex in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It occurs in at least four geological formations of the volcanic complex and was widely used by indigenous peoples during the pre-Columbian era.
Successive eruptions eventually built the volcanic pile above lake level to form a small temporary island that produced subaerial lava flows and lava fountains. [109] The result of this volcanism was the creation of Pillow Ridge on the northwestern flank of Mount Edziza, so-named for its exposures of pillow lava.
Gyali (Greek: Γυαλί "glass", also spelled Giali or Yali, pronounced ) is a Greek volcanic island in the Dodecanese, located halfway between the south coast of Kos and Nisyros. It consists of rhyolitic obsidian lava domes and pumice deposits (which are mined in huge quantities).
The island is considered special by Māori (the indigenous people of New Zealand) partly because of the presence of black obsidian, a volcanic glass created by the rapid cooling of silica-rich lava, prized as a cutting tool. The obsidian was called Tūhua by Māori, who called the island by the same name.

[42] How the magmas are formed is controversial.
Authorities fear the Iceland volcano could erupt with just 30 minutes notice as the country’s Meteorological Office (IMO) warned magma may have reached very high up in the Earth’s crust ...
