    It’s just beautiful! I disagree that it’s the last of the velvet, I happen to know for a fact that Mexico is loaded with all types of obsidian !

    Another stellar piece, but I've been meaning to ask, how do you get the flakes to travel so far? I abrade my piece, and push in as hard as I can, and snap down, but they don't go near as far as yours. Usually I have to do percussion on a slab before I flake it because my flakes don't go so far.
