Thank you to Kris at Hand to Mouth Mining!!! I talked to Kris about looking for obsidian that is unusual and different than anything I've worked before. He certainly didn't disappoint!!! I received my slab today and it is magnificent! I've never seen almost neon yellow in ob before. This piece goes from lemon yellow to lime green to purple. The pictures aren't the best as it's 8pm and I took these pictures inside. I was able to capture enough though to show you how incredibly cool this piece is. I should be able to get at least two fairly large cabs out of it with full sheen showing ;D   |

The cabs should be cool! I've worked electric blue and electric purple. Don... I think you sent me electric blue right? Any way, Kris hasn't named this material but I would definitely classify it in an electric yellow category. The colors are knock your socks off bright.

I'm pretty excited to get working on it in the next week or so! Bobby1, and Kris agreed that this material is worthy of a cat's eye. Wish me luck!!! The challenge is ON!

Thanks for the great praise, Krystee!  We're really excited to have you cutting our O'Sidian, and look forward to what you'll make from that tasty slab ... Though we hope you'll get daylight pics , before & after! :drool: We're getting a new blade in the morning, and it'll be a great day of slabbing, shipping and pressure washing! Best regards, Kris & Al Hand-2-Mouth Mining |
