Bob, do doubles or triples ever have aligned patterns? I would expect the water lines to be aligned, but what about the rest of the structure? I notice the center one in your photo has that classic star shape, but the outer ones seem different.
On this one you have to remember that it is cut 90 degrees from what SOME call the right way. I have seem then with aligned water lines and triples where they are not aligned at all. kind of a crap shoot. I likes ones like this one where each egg is different. I may take half and recut and see what the lines look like.
It is really not cut right to show water lines but this is the only way I could geet all three eggs in one cut. I do lie cutting with the lines sometimes. Gives it a different look from a normal water line egg.
did some sanding and have them back on the polisher now, had to come in to get some leak repair done on a finger. Working with obsidian can make you leak!!
Hoping it wasnt a bad leak
Just big enough to get blood all over, only about 3/8" long. about normal

Bob, is that Glass Buttes material? Sure is pretty.
I believe it, but since I did not collect it myself, it may not be. It may be from Newberry Crater, collected before that area was closed to collecting.
Haven't been in the shop much the lst few weeks so saw a nice piece of obsidian and decided to take a few cuts off of it. It will polish up real nice. this photo is just out of the saw, just wiped some of the oil off of it. 4 inchesby4 inches
