Nice slab and good cut - your picture is awesome as well... really shows the gold sheen very well! - I notice a few of you who replied are folks who picked up my flat rate obsidian boxes. Always keep in mind on most obsidians... Always cut the same direction as the banding on the exterior of the stone. This works for Silver, Gold, Rainbow, Fire Obsidians... Anything such as mahogany, or lizard skin or laces should be cut for best pattern. You can always wet the stone and look at it in the sunlight to see the sheen pattern. This will give you a idea on how the cut the stone the correct way.
Again good job Stoneview!

I'm usually not a big fan of obsidian, but that stuff is nice.

Thanks Every one, Beef, It was nice to meet you and your wife in person, I didn't get it at the show, I bought 14lb off ebay and slabbed it up to sell. Thank You, Clint

I'd say "got it right" is an understatement. You nailed it and that is some really flashy stuff. Should make some beautiful cabs.
