On our last road trip to "Glass Buttes" I filled a gallon baggie with small Obsidian pieces,so I could try my hand at tumbling them.. Just changed the slurry from "Stage # 2" to fine grit..... Took a few photos of some of the Obsidian...(Golden sheen)... "slide show" s29.photobucket.com/user/fossilman01/slideshow/Obsidian%20tumbles

Sweet material Michael. The sheens and stripes tumbles better that the solid stuff. Going gets tuff when polishing that stuff. Wishing you well.
