All three are really great! The tiger eye is what I think of when I think of tiger eye. You don't see much that nice anymore and you got an impressive polish. I LOVE peanut obsidian, too. But, I have to go with that perfect subtle pattern on the last. Wicked!

Someplace around here is a box of black skin agate. I hope there are some that nice, and I can get them as pretty as you can.

They're all great, but that Peanut Obsidian is gorgeous! Reminds me of flowers with a background of stone. Really like it!

I found it a few years ago at a rock shop that sells everything for $3 a pound. It weighed about 3.5 lbs. The rock shop owner didn't know what it was. Andrea

Now I feel bad for the tiger eye and Blackskin cabs. They are sweet also, just never seen that obsidian. Great work!

I'm a late comer, but that Peanut is off the charts! The others are fabulous, but I never even would have guessed it was an obsidian. Beautiful all!

Those are all stunning! I also can't stop looking at teh Peanut obsidian. The others are simply stunning as well - but then those orbs on the obsidian draw my eye back again! That material is super expensive - like, Pietersite expensive and hard to find.
