It is likely that a geologist could tell you exactly what happened to create your obsidian curtains and other patterns. Those curtains or whatever they are called are stunning. Great job wrestling with the glare and getting such depth. Lol, stalking. I see this type clear sections, I believe it is in mahogany in many cases. Never looked at it with magnification. Time to start ! I'm curious about their formation, too. I'm sure someone here can shed a little light on the subject...... The glare is fairly easy to navigate, the microscopic bubbles that are the killer. I've got some really cool material that didn't photograph well, because of all the bubbles. There's no easy way, that I know of, to have mass removal of dust/bubbles in post processing. I think there's other types that have clear, but I don't know obsidian well enough to say. If you're curious, I made those photos public, so you can zoom in to them. You may need to wait a few seconds for them to clear up, they're pretty big files. Some sharper than others.

HOLY MOLLY! That Obsidian is crazy wild Jeremy!!! The first photo is called a double flow black... I love cutting that stuff and collecting it on our hounding trips... After the first cut of the rough, its easy to figure out the angles you want cut...A blast to work with.. The detail you put forth on these rocks are incredible...... I have two batches of Obsidian coming out of my tumblers soon, I hope.....Potential in all of them.. Again, two thumbs up!!! Looks like I better send you some "Gold Sheen" Obsidian, next time... Your great at capturing the material in its glory... Hey, Mike! Thanks for the kind words! That obsidian probably came from you! Good to know what it's called, so I can ask for more . Can't wait to see those batches!
