This is going to sound strange, but the 5th pic looks like you're holding a small piece of a black hole.
In other words, BADA$$! ;D Awesome finish on those!

Those defy description. I have a batch I am about to start and hope I can do as well.

The obsidian must be a tough test for tumbling.Those are perfect.Looked up mohs for obsidian.It is the same as glass at 5-5.5 and a non crystalline homogenous material.And is frosting from too much impact?I beleive it is.So the loto machine is doing something right.Really right.

Those are awesome!! What a shine, I hope that mine turn out that nice. I have a batch of snowflake obsidian running in the third charge of coarse grit, probably will go for a 4th (vibe tumbler). They're looking smooth but not to perfection quite yet.

Those are fantastic looking... I have a bunch of apache tears that I have been afraid to star so I keep sticking other stuff into the barrels... plus I have a few pounds of snowflake that needs to be done too... gonna have to get the recipe for that first. Bikerrandy - what is a vine tumbler?

I'm guessing "vine tumbler" is a "vibe tumbler" for people with smaller fingers. The darn keys are so close together. As far as the obsidian, etiquette and common decency would suggest you warn people of the blinding shine.
