Just pulled these out of the lot-o. Obsidian was a gift from Krystee for someone (me) that had never tumbled obsidian. Thanks Krystee I also had a few slab pieces that I cut into so hearts. Obsidian tumbled in rotary with 60/90, hearts added at the 220 stage in the rotary for about 2 weeks with a bunch of ceramics. Moved to lot-o 500, burnish and polish with AO. Some pics with flash, some without Thanks for looking Bill Whole batch A few favorites A few hearts

Once again, I am reminded of how much I like your hearts. The batch is beautiful--including the non-hearts.

It's almost like you're a heart expert or something.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments and thanks again Krystee for such a nice gift of some primo obsidian. Hearts are my thing (obviously). I'm a one trick pony Bill

Great stuff, Bill. Skipped the thread at first because of the date - figured I'd already seen it. Glad I decided to give it a look after all...
