Tailwind Obsidian Glass Shard Button

A shard of volcanic glass: an asymmetric faceted silhouette from clip-path, near-black translucency over a blurred backdrop, two facet planes shaded by opposing gradients, and a razor of light that runs along the leading edge on hover.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Utilities: the clip (via a shared variable), the backdrop filters, the wrapper's relational hover and focus states, the rim's inset ring, the edge sweep. CSS: the three facet gradients and the shape variable they share with the rim.
  • has-hover: on the wrapper is a literal one-to-one port of :has(:hover), and this is the demo where that matters most: with clip-path on the button, every decoration — shadow, lift, focus ring — has to live one level up. The variant makes that structure explicit rather than accidental.
  • The --tb-34-shape variable stays in CSS even though the polygon could be an arbitrary utility, because two elements must use the identical value. A duplicated 60-character polygon is a drift bug waiting to happen.
  • A11y fix from the CSS original: the disabled label was #7c8494 on the near-black glass — about 4.0:1. The port raises it to oklch(0.63 0.02 260) (≈5.4:1). Disabled is not exempt, and on a dark shard it is the only text present.

How this works

Clipping costs you shadows, borders and outlines. All three workarounds live on the wrapper, and the port makes that structural decision visible:

<span class="inline-block drop-shadow-[0_18px_28px_#000000bf]
  has-hover:-translate-y-[3px] has-focus-visible:outline-2
  has-focus-visible:outline-offset-[6px]">
  <button class="[clip-path:polygon(…)] focus-visible:outline-none">…</button>
</span>

has-hover: and has-focus-visible: on the wrapper are exactly :has(:hover) and :has(:focus-visible) from the original — a one-to-one port of a relational selector.

The facets are hard-ish gradient stops, not a smooth sheen: rgba(255,255,255,.1) 0 38%, transparent 38.5% makes a plane, a soft stop makes a blur. Three layers, so they stay in CSS with the shape variable they share.

Make it yours

  • Redraw the facets in the polygon; keep one long straight edge so the label has room.
  • --color-tb34-glow sets the edge light: icy blue for obsidian, amber for smoked quartz.
  • A second edge sweep at a different angle with a delay-* gives a multi-facet catch.
  • Raise backdrop-blur-[10px] for frosted volcanic glass, drop it for opaque stone.
  • The rim's alpha is the difference between a shard and a cut-out. Keep it under 0.35.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • clip-path kills box-shadow, border and outline. Wrapper filter, clipped inner rim, wrapper outline.
  • Angular shapes shrink the effective hit area at the corners. Keep the label well inside and the height ≥3rem.
  • Sharp geometric buttons read as decorative — the label must be an unambiguous verb.
  • Very dark surfaces need a light label at ≥4.5:1. Near-black on near-black is this style's classic failure.
  • The rim layer must use the same clip-path variable as the button, or the 1px inset drifts at the corners.

clip-path and drop-shadow are baseline; backdrop-filter degrades to the solid translucent background declared underneath it. :has() drives the wrapper states.
