Jackpot Today

Sooo me and my brother decide to take a hike today at a certain place. After a greasy rain, at the bottom of the hill on trail, we found these scattered among the "normal" rocks some poking out of the did still. I'm no expert but I was wise enough to know we had something awesome ! Gems ! First thought was garnets, now maybe diopside (purple as well) blue garnet / grey in emeralds ? Not sure either way the are awesome and one VERY new peace I call the rapture nest , the craters look like egg shapes and it's a solid multi dark greens . Several pieces , large pieces . Thoughts and analysis welcomed!!! Most of all Enjoy ! I wasn't for sure what we had until came home and I put the small green and purple on the flash light and turned it .....the result , this picture ! My hair stood up ! Enjoy

Has all the characteristics of slag glass. Not much doubt in my mind.

I'm no expert, but obsidian is not at all common on the east coast- not in Maryland. Not that it isn't found ever. Just not common enough to be just lying on the ground near a trail. My guess is some variety of slag. Bubbles, clarity, exterior vs interior... has to do w/ the mine- as others have suggested.
