That's awesome! Those slabs look great!

I worked a black slab. It broke multiple times before I finaly swaped to a fine abrader and real sharp pressure flaker and took a lot of care with it.
I got a point but I was wore out by then. I thought obsidian was supposed to be easy.
1442:
I rough shaped a preform out of the butt cut of the mahogany obsidian and went to work on it with a small bopper then switched to pressure to finish.
I don't know if I was just handling the obsidian better or if this stuff flakes better, but this point went pretty smooth and didn't give me no trouble like the black one. Well it did loose a ear off a notch like the black one, but this seemed like stronger material than the black stuff.
