You can't cut your fingers on the saw blades. I pressed my thumb against such a saw blade, and it didn't make a mark. What's terrifying is that nobody is using gauze masks. Glass dust is _TERRIBLE_ for the lungs! I am certain that several of the workers will develop COPD and probably cancer. COPD stands for Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

@@Kalithrasis What colors can volcanic glass be? The color of obsidian ranges widely from common brown-black to orange, green, blue, gray or even near-colorless, and is influenced by the presence of sub-micron-sized crystals. Common textures include flow banding, breccia, devitrification (including spherulites and lithophysae), and vesicular bands. there has been more red glass found in certain areas. not saying this is real volcanic glass but it could be or maybe they made it in the same manner some make pearls by seeding the lava flow.

Its not volcanic glass, it's just plain man made glass. You can colorful glass slag all over the US as well.

Does anyone remember the "aquarium glass" you used to find at the pet store in the 1980's I used to find those big chunks of slag glass to be very satisfying. Never put one in a fish tank tho, and honestly never seen a fish tank with them... Trying to carve that into a ball looks SO dangerous!

Hard to reconcile the amount of labor and strain on the body these artists suffer to produce a single artifact when the person who buys it may have earned the money with a single mouse click. No doubt been the case throughout the ages.

Artists? They're slaves. If you didn't personally hand $200 to one of these people for their so called art then you are the reason they suffer these conditions.

Is this truly volcanic glass,” obsidian” or is it Himalayan salt? How and where do they get these giant slabs of glass or salt?
@Jonathan.D5 ай бұрын
I've seen this being done at a quarry between Da Nang and Hoi Anh. The sculptures they can make from it are amazing. Most all of it comes from the on-site quarry or nearby mountains. I saw one that was a giant koi fish that was at least 3 meters long and 1.5 meters high. Amazing artistry!

I should mention that the first was volcanic glass, and the second was the salt. Two very different places.

@marionfisk79265 ай бұрын
Where in the world do you find volcanic glass that is almost all red.? That’s why I was questioning is it truly nature made volcanic glass or something man-made? I noticed in the videos, but they were starting with look like big slabs that had been poured out and folded over and that’s not natural. I live in Oregon on the West Coast of the United States and our state is a volcanic state and I’ve gone to the Lava beds in eastern Oregon and picked up volcanic obsidian and it’s almost always black with may be a few streaks of red through it.
@Jonathan.D5 ай бұрын
@@marionfisk7926 There are at least 12 different colors of volcanic glass. It can be dark or black, with some being tan, green, blue, red, orange, brown, and yellow. It can be completely clear or have streaks of one or more colors. The different colors are caused by impurities and/or inclusions. Iron crystals give it its normal dark color. Sometimes, it even comes in what looks like a rainbow. If you learn how volcanic glass forms, you will understand how the lump in the video formed. Where and when it formed also affects the way it looks.

What amazing team work and craftsmanship of these workers. The USA use to be this way. Yes, the lack of real safety equipment is concerning. Are these companies liable for when workers get white lung or is it their government?
