Rainbow Obsidean

 This blade started out 4" longer but I kept having to reduce it to flake out the pockets of ash I kept finding. At least it has some pretty colors.

 You can't see through it. It is hard to catch the colors on camera in this bright sun,

     Is that from that stuff you were showing me?  Looks like you were able to salvage it.  Nice work.
