I was searching along the coastline for some gravel, when I chanced upon the very same exposed stone glitch as seen in /indev/.
The best part of this formation though, is the fact that it's got a cool little pool in the middle.
It's a pretty cool glitch, I thought. It hasn't been modified by me at all, but I plan to make some sort of temple or something around the pool in the center.
The only thing I'm wondering is, how did it form? The very same glitch in /indev/ was speculated to be caused by a cave cutting off the dirt above it, but /infdev/ doesn't have caves yet. Either way, it's pretty awesome =D
My guess is after digging a while on a volcano, you'll hit lava and obsidian, and I think a diamond pickaxe should only be able to mine obsidian.. That being, obsidian could be the strongest material for building.. Choice.
Obsidian occurs when lava/magma cools very fast. Cooling slowly will leave granite or something else, depending on extrusive/intrusive and other factors.

There is nothing unatural about exposed rock.

In other words, make it a volcano.
Volcanoes arent made of Obsidian.
Obsidian is Volcanic Glass.
Last ones
If bug, fix, then make it do that again
Lava+Cooling=Rock
Volcano=/=Obsidian
