I would contest that...Just looking at the gold ingot model, it definitely looks soft. Also I'm pretty sure they just mixed up ebony and obsidian, although they would of course still have to alter the properties of obsidian to make armor out of it. Not saying that it's actually called obsidian and not ebony, just that I'm fairly certain that's the concept from which the canonical substance called ebony arose.
