Description
These are all tumbler-sized, and this is an excellent tumbling batch! Velvet obsidian tumbles with amazing results! Velvet Obsidian does require decent light to see the color. It is much like opal in that you need bright light, and it has to be turned right to get the flash of brilliance. Without this, it would just appear like a regular black obsidian. In velvet obsidian, its that gorgeous display that you are searching for. With this box, what you see is what you get. Each stone in the photos is included in the full medium flatrate box!
Mexican Velvet Obsidian is a higher quality obsidian with loads of magnetite that creates a velvet-like pattern and flashes within! It often features many colors and works into some genuinely excellent cabochons! Velvet Obsidian is mostly old stock, dug before the 1980s. It takes an excellent polish and generally cuts fracture-free! It is a personal favorite of mine, and I have never been let down while cutting up batches of these! They can also make fabulous pendants or can be great for wire-wrapping projects!
Mexican Velvet Obsidian can also be tumbled with great results! This tends to remove the skin and let more light in so you can see the color better, and it also takes a mirror-grade polish as it is a volcanic glass! It does take some special care, but it is 100% possible to get great results! We recommend starting the polish with a rotary tumbler and finishing it with a vibra tumbler, but excellent results are possible with a rotary tumbler. If you need any advice, feel welcome to contact us! If you plan to tumble, leave a note with your desired size during checkout, and we will do our best to pick those. These can also make great trimmers for cabbing slabs!
Photos are taken with the stones wet. This helps you see their potential once polished.
