Another slice of obsidian that came off the saw last night. Apologies for the lousy photo; this stuff is hard to capture with a 5 yr old phone cam!
This one is fun because I see a large night-time scene. Off to the right there is a bay, surrounded by a city. The sheen of the obsidian provides the twinkle of the city lights. The land slopes up to a mountain in the background, capped by a lenticular cloud.
I had already taken a couple of slices of this chunk. They are good, but I was thinking of turning the piece and cutting from a different angle. Then I noticed that the bands were swirling around and could get some interesting angles if I took another hack or two at it. Glad I didn't change it.
