You need to find it in the world, and then use an extractor on it to harvest it

soo i need to find a ore or node of it not the block

[Hyo]

Coal, Obsidian, Iron, Diamond, and Lumite are all nodes and cannot be harvesting by mining cells. They require Extractors.

Craft extractors.

[J's]

Craft extractors, the cross-shaped grey thing. Once you find obsidian that look like a black-blue-ish thing, select the extractor in your quickslot and use it on the obsidian.

After that you need to wait for it to do it's work... but you can leave the area and come back later. Some lamps/torches to mark the way may be a good idea.

Then return home and put it in a forge, using some fuel to make it usable.

I strongly suggest you then invest in making blue (advanced) extractors with it. It may seem counter intuitive to waste two obsidian on them but... not only will they work faster, they will also double your output and repay themselves (from 6 to 12, you have a net gain of 4 factoring the 2 obsidian cost).

If you still can't find the obsidian, here is a quick video I made a while back to help people out :
