Obsidian that looks "plum" colored...or maybe a nice sweet wine......:)

.....that little piece on the bottom left of my other post kind of looks a bit like this color....only have found a few but it's pretty....what would it be called? It's not really brown or real red so..... .....now if I could only find a arrowhead made of it.....

...none of these are tumbled, it's just they way I found them...but do use a little mineral oil on the dusty ones, brings the color out & is safe I hear.

I guess my question is what do you do with them if anything?

Old flintknappers trick is to melt a little bee's wax on your points and buff them out. Covers the imperfections and won't hurt the point. Makes them shine nice also.

Not promoting that activity just an FYI.

.......thanks Tn....you're always so nice !

...rock, what do I do with them.....admire them, so neat to think that they are these little bits of firey history..."mothers natures" home made glass & pretty. I'm sure they would make some nice jewelry or simply a nice specimen addition. ....hum...maybe should start a little business.....lol

... wow didn't know that Jon....good idea.....do use the mineral oil on some, do you know if that's OK & won't hurt? And what about reg. hand lotion, suppose that would hurt?
