An icy cold day in Mount Macedon, when suddenly a Whitewalker appeared.
Battling for humanity, we fought in the treacherous conditions in the dark, misty forest. Slaying him with dragonglass, I emerged victorious.
Location of the amazing cave form Game of Thrones 7th season. We are lucky to have such amazing place so close from home, in Itzurun beach, Zumaia.

ando muito preguiçosa para trocar de esmalte, mas não para comprinhas rs (ainda bem q estou #alokadesapeguenta, como diz a Luciene)
With Walkers spotted marching towards the wall and dragonglass dagger at the ready, Christopher's steely look says, "Winter is here!"
(Yes, I'm quite ready for the next season of "Game of Thrones" to start...)
O resultado final é simplesmente divino!!
Mas achei a formula meio grossa, nao sei, parece que tem mto mto glitter e deixou a formula mto chatinha!
Foram 3 camadas. Com duas achei que o fundo preto nao sobressaiu tanto.
Esse esmalte é muito maravilhoso!!! É com certeza o preto com glitter holo mais lindo que eu já usei, posso mandar embora todos os outros que ainda tenho e ficar só com ele. Garanto que ao vivo é mais lindo ainda!
Pra variar tem mais fotos nos comentários e tb fiz um vídeo

Yes I know , it is really obsidian and in this case golden obsidian . Obsidian is an igneous rock that forms when molten rock material cools so rapidly that atoms are unable to arrange themselves into a crystalline structure. It is an amorphous material known as a "mineraloid." The result is a volcanic glass with a smooth uniform texture that breaks with a conchoidal fracture .
Where Does Obsidian Form?
Obsidian is usually an extrusive rock - one that solidifies above Earth's surface. However, it can form in a variety of cooling environments:
along the edges of a lava flow (extrusive)
along the edges of a volcanic dome (extrusive)
around the edges of a sill or a dike (intrusive)
where lava contacts water (extrusive)
where lava cools while airborne (extrusive)
Black is the most common color of obsidian. However, it can also be brown, tan, or green. Rarely, obsidian can be blue, red, orange, or yellow. The colors are thought to be caused mainly by trace elements or inclusions.
Occasionally two colors of obsidian will be swirled together in a single specimen. The most common color combination is black and brown obsidian swirled together - that's called "mahogany obsidian" .
As a "glass," obsidian is chemically unstable. With the passage of time, some obsidian begins to crystallize. This process does not happen at a uniform rate throughout the rock. Instead it begins at various locations within the rock. At these locations, the crystallization process forms radial clusters of white or gray cristobalite crystals within the obsidian. When cut and polished, these specimens are referred to as "snowflake obsidian" .
Rarely, obsidian has an iridescent or metallic "sheen" caused by light reflecting from minute inclusions of mineral crystals, rock debris, or gas. These colored specimens are known as "rainbow obsidian," "golden obsidian," or "silver obsidian," depending upon the color of the sheen or iridescence. These specimens are very desirable for the manufacture of jewelry.
Most obsidians have a composition similar to rhyolite and granite. Granites and rhyolites can form from the same magma as obsidian and are often geographically associated with the obsidian.
Rarely, volcanic glasses are found with a composition similar to basalt and gabbro. These glassy rocks are named "tachylyte."
Pumice , scoria and tachylyte are other volcanic glasses formed by rapid cooling. Pumice and scoria differ from obsidian by having abundant vesicles - cavities in the rock produced when gas bubbles were trapped in a solidifying melt. Tachylyte differs in composition - it has a composition similar to basalt and gabbro.
Obsidian is found in many locations worldwide. It is confined to areas of geologically recent volcanic activity. Obsidian older than a few million years is rare because the glassy rock is rapidly destroyed or altered by weathering, heat, or other processes.
Significant deposits of obsidian are found in Argentina, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Russia, United States, and many other locations.
In the United States it is not found east of the Mississippi River, as there is no geologically recent volcanic activity there. In the western US it is found at many locations in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. Most obsidian used in the jewelry trade is produced in the United States.
The conchoidal fracture of obsidian causes it to break into pieces with curved surfaces. This type of fracturing can produce rock fragments with very sharp edges. These sharp fragments may have prompted the first use of obsidian by people.
The first use of obsidian by people probably occurred when a sharp piece of obsidian was used as a cutting tool. People then discovered how to skillfully break the obsidian to produce cutting tools in a variety of shapes. Obsidian was used to make knives, arrowheads, spear points, scrapers, and many other weapons and tools.
Once these discoveries were made, obsidian quickly became the raw material of preference for producing almost any sharp object. The easy-to-recognize rock became one of the first targets of organized "mining." It is probably a safe bet that all natural obsidian outcrops that are known today were discovered and utilized by ancient people.
The manufacture of obsidian tools by humans dates back to the Stone Age. At some locations, tons of obsidian flakes reveal the presence of ancient "factories." Some of these sites have enough waste debris to suggest that many people labored there for decades producing a variety of obsidian objects. Making arrowheads, spear points, knife blades, and scrapers from obsidian, chert, or flint might have been the world's first "manufacturing industry."
Obsidian was so valued for these uses that ancient people mined, transported, and traded obsidian and obsidian objects over distances of up to a thousand miles. Archaeologists have been able to document the geography of this trade by matching the characteristics of obsidian in outcrops with the characteristics of obsidian in cutting tools. A study done by the Idaho National Laboratory used composition studies by X-ray fluorescence to identify the source outcrops of obsidian artifacts and map their use across the western United States.
Although using a rock as a cutting tool might sound like "stone age equipment," obsidian continues to play an important role in modern surgery. Obsidian can be used to produce a cutting edge that is thinner and sharper than the best surgical steel. Today, thin blades of obsidian are placed in surgical scalpels used for some of the most precise surgery. In controlled studies, the performance of obsidian blades was equal to or superior to the performance of surgical steel.
Obsidian is a popular gemstone. It is often cut into beads and cabochons or used to manufacture tumbled stones. Obsidian is sometimes faceted and polished into highly reflective beads. Some transparent specimens are faceted to produce interesting gems.
The use of obsidian in jewelry can be limited by its durability. It has a hardness of about 5.5 which makes it easy to scratch. It also lacks toughness and is easily broken or chipped upon impact. These durability concerns make obsidian an inappropriate stone for rings and bracelets. It is best suited for use in low-impact pieces such as earrings, brooches, and pendants.
Obsidian is also used in making opal doublets and opal triplets. Thin slices or chips of opal are glued to a thin slice of obsidian to make a composite stone. The black obsidian provides an inexpensive and color-contrasting background that makes opal's colorful fire much more obvious. It also adds mass and stability to the opal that facilitates cutting it into a gem.
Freshly broken pieces of obsidian have a very high luster. Ancient people noticed that they could see a reflection in obsidian and used it as a mirror. Later, pieces of obsidian were ground flat and highly polished to improve their reflective abilities.
Obsidian's hardness of 5.5 makes it relatively easy to carve. Artists have used obsidian to make masks, small sculptures, and figurines for thousands of years.
Sorry to have got carried away there - so the significance of obsidian to Game of Thrones , I am told it is one of only two substances that can kill the White Walkers ! Useful stuff then .
Oh Game of Thrones , I hear a lot of it while looking the other way on the computer on flickr - this is it's theme music .

Comprei o DragonGlass por engano, eu queria o Beth, mas cliquei no esmalte errado e só percebi isso bem depois.
O Dragon Glass é maravilhoso, mas eu queria comprar cores variadas de PL e já tinha escolhido o preto Delirium , aí fiquei sem nenhum vermelho da marca. Paciência, serve para na próxima compra pela internet eu conferir direito o que tem no carrinho antes de clicar no concluir hehe.

Esse PL estava esquecido na caixinha, era o meu último da marca que faltava usar.
Achei lindo demais, esses glitters coloridos são tão fofos, gostei mais desse do que do DragonGlass, o outro preto da PL que comprei errado.
Usei o TC efeito Gel da Vult pela primeira vez, as primeiras impressões: ele alisa o amassado porque testei numa unha e funcionou, mas não seca muito rápido não, vamos ver...
glass from the beautiful and talented Kathi Gose (aka dragonglass) Thankyou Kathi, i love it!
Now to make something that does it justice... :)
Had to create a Tee inspired by my fav ep of the season (so far).
GnR meets GoT…
