Cool! I love obsidian and that mahogany looks nice! How many varieties are tumbling in this batch?

Very nice tumble. What is the grey stuff? Obsidian? It looks more like a chert to me, especially in the first and last picture. If it is Obsidian- very cool! if its not- then keep an eye out as it could start beating up the others real bad.

Hi Guys!! Thanks for the input!
As for the grey ones .... uh ... not sure .... if Jo could chime in here ... she may have an answer.
Since I will be checking this batch this weekend, I should have a better idea after posting pics if I should pull the greys.
I think that there is mahogany, rainbow (I think) and the others that are really black ... I may not know until this weekend as a wee bit more is peeled off the outer surface.
I am still so green at IDing obsidians and since I am discovering there are so many different ones, they could be just about anything.
See you this weekend with an update on this batch.
As Always!!!

PS ... the material I use for cushioning is plastic pellets. For me, they work well with all that I have worked with so far.
