Edziza Obsidian
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. As a result of its widespread use, Edziza obsidian has been found in several archaeological sites throughout the Pacific Northwest. Sources Edziza obsidian occurs as lava flows at various elevations throughout the northern and southern ends of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex. The largest occurrence of Edziza obsidian is centred on Goat Mountain in the Spectrum Range where it is associated with the Spectrum Formation. Edziza obsidian associated with the Armadillo Formation occurs at Artifact Creek, Fan Creek, Coffee Crater, Destell Pass and Cartoona Peak. The obsidian also occurs on The Pyramid, a lava dome of the Pyramid Formation. Sorcery Ridge of the Ice Peak Formation also contains Edziza ob ...
