Ab sent me a little piece of rainbow obsidian. It only weighs 42 lbs. It is 16" x 11" and 8" thick. Just a little piece. ;D ;D ;D First 3 are turnig it on each side with windex suds on it. Trimmed ends off to get it in saw. Chipped off pieces. sorry for blurry pix, forgot to reset to macro. (Old age) ;D ;D ;D

Ab, just so you know, we have both been married a few times. Neither of us want to get married again. We have learned our lesson. So, we will co-habitate. You know how it goes...what is hers, is hers .....what is mine.....is hers.....what is ours....is hers. Just kidding. We share everything. Ken
