Obsidian (volcanic glass) is unstable and it de-vitrifies (crystallizes) with time, it is also only produced from viscous, acidic lavas. You would therefore look for it in recently produced lavas in continental volcanoes. Thus while obsidian is not uncommon, it does not last very long geologically. Where it is found it is found in large amounts.
