...getting ready to go into the tumbler.
Sorry, just a small wait and finished pics will be posted. BUT, the good news is that I did survive the rough break down with no sliced arteries and no new piercings.

Can't wait to see the finished material. I really treated my obsidian like everything else, just kept in its own barrel. I started using 60/90 but eventually went back to my 46/70 grit. I'll be curious to see if you have a bunch of pieces chip while running thru the Lot-O. I seem to have 10-20% that need to go back to rough grit for a bit even though they looked perfect going in.

Good to know, Dave. Your batch of obsidian is what prompted me to start gathering some. Anxious to get it going.
