I have not had a chance to post my last few batches but I really liked the snowflake obsidian in this run so I thought I would share. The optical quartz cab is my favorite Tears snowflakes larger pieces optical quartz cab. No idea what to do with this one but it sure is cool. I cabbed it then tumbled it with the obsidian. Whole batch Thanks for looking Chuck

Chuck.
I think that is probably one of the finest tumble polishes I have ever seen on obsidian/glass. Nice job!

Dito starguy. Wicked tumbled obsidian. Can't get better, mission accomplished. Those tears are clear like whiskey.
The optical cab would get lost, perfect for a ghost. Reading up on glass, I think borosilicate is one type. It is soft. And easy to get bubbles out of it.
Is that a garage door in the reflection ?

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Dito starguy. Wicked tumbled obsidian. Can't get better, mission accomplished. Those tears are clear like whiskey. The optical cab would get lost, perfect for a ghost. Reading up on glass, I think borosilicate is one type. It is soft. And easy to get bubbles out of it. Is that a garage door in the reflection ? Yeah jamesp I think the garage door reflection does show up in a few of the pics. I have found that in the garage just out of direct sunlight is working real nice tumble pictures. Chuck

I don't think any light would be the wrong light for those tumbles.

There is nothing to say that those posted before me haven't said. You are definitely a master tumbler.

That is the deepest wettest shine I've seen. It's no wonder you get all the prizes! Thanks for sharing these with us.
