Yes please, obsidian (or dragon glass!) in nice slabs... I have asked at the rock shop in Norwich and they say Mexican obsidian has to be worked into a shape or object before it is allowed to be exported! Is this true?

Here's a question: can you get slabs of heat treated agate in the UK without paying loads? It's something I would like to try.
