21 pounds (MFRB) of obsidian rough from Glass Buttes to be auctioned with proceeds going to Tommy for Pro Boards. I'll pay shipping to bid winner. We have a variety of pieces here including mahogany, silver sheen, flame, and gray silk that I picked up years ago. Auction closes at 5PM MST Friday, April 9. |

So many people have been doing this lately, saying MST (or EST, CST or PST) when I think they mean MDT?? Isn't everyone (except AZ) on Daylight Saving Time right now? If I am wrong, please forgive my ignorance. Have been hoping for years that we would be able to quit messing with the damn clocks twice a year... Sorry for the rant. Thanks, Randy, for putting up more of your hoard for auction. That glass ain't shit, lol. Proboards is going to love the generous folks at RTH! |

Beautiful pieces of obsidian, Randy! I have to admit to never having heard of the grey silk before. It looks scrumptious.
You are truly going above and beyond.

Yeah, I think most are on DST right now, however 5PM isn't at the same moment in NY or California as it is where I'm at, so I just want to be clear that the auction ends at 5pm MY TIME and if you're at the East or West coast you should adjust your bid deadline accordingly. |

I actually like the one above that one even better. It has flames in it that shimmer upon movement. Too bad it's so difficult to capture on film with my skills and equipment. |

Too bad it's so difficult to capture on film with my skills and equipment. That's just because your camera is used to taking pics of crappy subjects!  (I really never tire of all the jokes about poop! - So juvenile, I know! LOL) I have some obsidian on hand, but I've been too chicken to work it just yet. Maybe I need to try a couple pieces this week, before this auction ends - because there's some stunning pieces in here!.  |

Hmmm...wondering if this is going to be like an ebay auction where all of the snipers come out at the last minute. Awfully quiet for some nice looking material. Just in case I'll up the ante to $70.
