Re: Helenite..Don't Be Fooled! Helenite is glass in the same sense that natural obsidian is glass. Helenite is synthesized from ash from Mount Saint Helens. It is an absolutely beautiful material - especially the stones that are four carats or more. I own scores of different types of natural gems - including zultanite, color change garnet, apatite. I never - almost never - buy synthetic stones, but helenite is absolutely gorgeous. I have become a fan.
