Hi, geo-enthusiasts! We've been slabbing lots of our Davis Creek obsidian to fill orders, and here are a few of the slabs that we're sending out to our loyal RTH customers. The photos didn't come out as bright as the material actually is, but that's probably due to the 30 mph winds that blew up a real dust storm ... In other words, ideal conditions! We'll start with a little golden rainbow, with burgundy stripes. See that wide reddish stripe? It's actually deep burgundy color. In bright non-dust storm conditions, this slab has a golden body "glow." Here's a lovely green-gold sunset sheen. As it's moved, it shifts to a bright red at the dark end. This one went out to a RTH member on Thursday!
Now, this is one of the best we've ever slabbed! A full spectrum sunset, with a deep blue-green stripe! This yummy slab shows brightly, even in household fluorescent light! Several slabs from this boulder have gone out to RTH members this week!
Just another example of why we're obsessed with Davis Creek fancy obsidian! This is one of the brightest sunset sheen slabs boulders we've slabbed, and one of the few with distinct bands of color. Sunset usually occurs as full sheen, shifting colors without distinct bands, so this one's unique! I love to slab our obsidian; every boulder is like a Xmas present! Best regards, Kris Hand-2-Mouth Mining

You sure find some nice stuff and know how to slab it.
