very nice!

question.... is all obsidian brittle, or do some samples hold up better than others? i picked up a few finished pieces in El Paso and they broke very easily. Just wondering......

Definitely a disadvantage to working glass or obsidian. It is much easier to flake than other materials, but fragile.
