I should have posted this yesterday but I got totally wrapped up with my kids going through material from an awesome day trip we had to one of my mentors rock workshops!!! This is Davis Creek obsidian that Frank (3rdrockfromthefun) sent me as a thank you gift for a broken tile saw. He got it all fixed up. I'm not mechanically inclined I think this came from a shipment of his from Hand2MouthMining. This was my other MONDO cab that I started right after the crazy lace. It is 2 3/4" by 2" and weighs in at 80 grams! This one is super but I had to go back to polish three times even with my pencil method. The cab is so big that the pencil markings kept rubbing off and when I thought I was done.... I noticed I wasn't Got it though and I LOVE this piece!!!!! Purple and green: And the shine.... (sure love summertime when I can take outside pictures!!!) Thanks for taking some of your time to look at some of mine!

Beautiful! I'd love to have that on a belt buckle but it might be too distracting. I'd be staring at it and running into things. ;^)
