Snakes and Stones

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.

I feel sure that we can all adapt okay -thanks for the "warning".

Super Pastel Lesser Het Axanthic--She had a slow start because she is a poor eater/high anxiety, her clutch-mates are easily 3X her size.
