6.2" Black Obsidian Hand Carved Crystal Kylin

A kylin worked in black obsidian. At 6.2 inches and 963 g it wants a shelf of its own rather than a desk corner.

This is glass rather than stone in the crystalline sense: lava chilled so quickly that its atoms never arranged themselves. That absence of structure is what lets obsidian hold an edge sharper than surgical steel, and what gives the polished surface its depthless black.

Worked in the round from a single block, with the form chosen to suit what that block could give rather than imposed on it.
