In this video I crush a large obsidian crystal ball with a hydraulic press. I knew that this ball would be trouble because of how explosive glass marbles are when crushed in the hydraulic press. This explosion is huge! One reason that obsidian is so neat is because it can be used to make tools and arrowheads. After I crush the obsidian I show you how sharp it is. Unfortunately that includes filleting my knuckle! Sometimes I do dumb things, this is one instance where I was pushing the obsidian into a stick and I slipped and cut my finger pretty bad. But this is a really cool explosion in the hydraulic press! Also, there are some really funny claims by the seller of the obsidian crystal ball that I show at the end.
