Photo #100
A Black Pastel with Firework Obsidian from Mexico.
Firework obsidian is considered one of the more difficult materials to tumble/polish. I read it was for someone with 'advanced' tumbling skills...had to try it.
Of the rough material I started with: I separated out the 'lighter' and 'darker pieces'. Shown above are the darker pieces.
There was an odd piece of rough material in the bag to start with (shown below). I later learned it is some Asteroid Jasper that snuck in.
Note: As we are only at photo #100 (100 individual snakes shown so far) and my 2021 clutches are hatching reliably: I may increase the frequency of my Snakes and Stones photos to catch up to this year.
