It might not look like much, but I'm excited to add this little piece of obsidian to my collection! This is from Antarctica's Mt. Melbourne volcano! It was collected by a mineralogist during the third German Antarctica expedition GANOVEX III 1982/83.

All right fellow rock-lickers, I call upon your knowledge! ⚒️🍎
Today a student asked WHY the streak color of a mineral is often different from the color in hand sample and I (the worst mineralogist in any geo department I'm in) was left mumbling about scattering. Does anyone have a better answer?
