B) ​easy to work with
C) ​readily available
D) ​a symbol of wealth

Obsidian was readily available to both the Aztecs and Maya as it could be found in volcanic areas throughout Mesoamerica. It was often used for tools and weapons due to its sharp edges and durability, and was also used for adornment in some cases. While it may have been a symbol of wealth to some degree, it was not exclusively reserved for the elite and was widely used by commoners as well.
