Tring to polish obsidian in a TV10. Went thru 120/220 after tumbling in a rotary tumblerfor 6 days, then in 400 for 5 days, then AO prepolish for 4 days, then CO for 5 days. No shine at all. Then put ing AO polish for 5 days and still no polish. I am using about a pound and 1/2 of plastic pellets in the batch. Any suggestion on what to try next. The only thing that I can think of is that I don't have enough small pieces in the batch but thought that the pellets would take care of that. TKS for any suggestions or help.

I don't know about the vibe. I bought some Apache tears from an old guy that looked better than any I've seen. He polished them in a rotary with Karo syrup and cerium oxide.
