Crafting Obsidian armor is done by the Eternal Forgemaster, who is in the Fissure of Woe.

Their high value also makes them useful as currency, especially for trades of more than 100 platinum.

The Chaos Gloves are a set of gloves in Guild Wars Eye of the North. They can be obtained from Gobrech Stonefoot in the Central Transfer Chamber.

What salvages into it
So far, only Obsidian armor and Chaos Gloves may turn into Globs of Ectoplasm when you salvage it. Prince Rurik has been rumored to be salvageable into Globs of Ectoplasm, but as there is only one in the game, no one has successfully tested this yet.
