Hi, geo-enthusiasts! Here are a few slabs of our fancy Davis Creek obsidian, fresh from our "Black Hole" pit! We're making frequent trips throughout the season to mine this dreamy material, and will be posting slab photos to make you drool! Here we go! Blue & Gold Velvet rainbow ... Superlative!Sunset velvet, with blue stripes of various shadesIncredible Joker sheenBlue & Gold rainbow, cut at a different angleAnd finally ... Classic Davis Creek rainbow, neon bright!We're presently busy pressure washing over 500 pounds of this lovely material, preparing it for shipment. We'll be slabbing hundreds of pounds, and sending slabs like these out in every order. And yes, we think that we're lucky too! ;D ;D ;D Thanks for taking a look! Kris & Al Hand-2-Mouth Mining

Beautiful stuff, guys! I'm enjoying the package I picked up from you. Cuts beautifully and has a great looking sheen.

Helen, just give in to the dark side, then it will forever dominate your saw/wheels/tumbler, etc. I've already picked up one large box and am intent on getting a second one (the AAA variety).

Rich? ... or ... Happy? I'll take "Just rich enough to be happy!", Helen! And Paul, be sure to do the Vader sound effects with that line. I have to record it, it always breaks up a "bad room!" Ciao!

Kris, I am what I guess you would call collateral damage. I have been following your thread and choking on my own drool as a result of your very funny commentary. As a result I have figured out a way of self administering the Hymlic maneuver when I start choking in front of my monitor. After binging on numerous boxes of slabs that I have acquired from the farthest corners of cyber space and despite the fact that I wake up every day with that "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" kind of feeling I still find myself saying: "I WANT MORE" I just have to figure out some creative financing (so the wife can't see) and I will be PM'ing you.

</DEEP ASTHMATIC BREATHING /ON/> Hi Kris ... the force is strong with this one ... ... PM sent ... <DEEP ASTHMATIC BREATHING /OFF/> (That's the closest I could get to sound effects on a forum post ... Stu, just give in buddy. Anyway, you know that we can NEVER have enough rocks.)

Thanks for the great conversation, guys! My hot air quotient responds positively to fan adulation, and my head is beginning to bump vigorously against the ceiling fan ... It's like spending the whole day at 65mph on Hwy 99! :drool: :drool: :drool: Uncle Stu, assure your lovely bride that she will be as entranced by the O'Sid as you are. Show her the photos we post to seduce you all to the "Dark Side" ... Then, when she's softening up, promise her anything, but get her O'Sidian! :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: Or, if she has her own baseball bat, just surprise her ... and duck a lot! ;D ;D Oh, and we'll be posting photos of a very special project with our O'Sidian tomorrow ... Stay tuned! Cheers! Kris
