I tried to pick a favorite, but I like too many of them - gorgeous!

Very beautiful tumbles you have. You have a great choice of materials. I love the blues, that's always my favorite. I can't pick a favorite. They are all beautiful.

All completed with a rotary? If so, would you care to offer how you handled the obsidian? I've got some that I'll be working with down the road. Welcome to the forum. Dave I should have mentioned for all these the first stage was done in a rotary - Thumlers Model B, and then completed in a Lot-O. I didn't intend to get the Lot-O, but it was very obvious after a couple months that it would take months, and months, and months to get enough rocks to do stages 2-4 in the Thumlers B. I only pull about a pound a rocks each week ready to move on to the next step, so I run the Lot-O only about once a month. It did take some trial and error to get the obsidian shined without any bruising, and if you look closely you can still see some imperfections, but I am happy with it. Obsidian bruises so easily. Even in a vibe it bruises.
