    Jim: My gal is a glassblower, we live in the great Northwest. First
    'nothing ' is permanent! I get rainbow obsideon from oregon, It has
    red, blue, yellow, green, white,and brown. I would be willing to bet
    that 'helenite' is made from the green band in the obsideon! I Know
    for fact that the  'glass eye' in Seattle uses a tiny pinch of ash
    in a 250 lb glass pot... there is no obsideon in mt st helens as it
    was a pyroclastic flow of ash and boulders, no new magma, just ash
    period! the ash is so contaminated with unlike chemicals and
    minerals that a '''stone'' made from it would be a conglomeration of
    minerals and silica... pure true unflawed green???   I think not...
