"People should be warned it’s quite difficult to read Humboldt on this matter, because he will spend 15 pages on the obsidian ***"

What does this old man say? ...obsidian and what?

Your answer will be appreciated.
 
I think he says "obsidian and ... um ... porphyry". That is how it sounds to me and the word does make sense in connection with obsidian.
 
Thank you all. Thank you for the answer.

That does make sense, though it sounds a bit like chorphyry to me.
