Trying to save Fire Obsidian
2,976
Published 2024-05-05
I was asked to see what I could do with 4 pieces of obsidian. After inspecting the pieces, I only suggested polishing the one but I had to use a foredom to try and save the layer.
I ultimately ended up polished a 2nd stone because the 1st one didn't turn out as expected.

A video like this is what I feel the community needs more of Kyle... so thanks for doing one. And we look forward to more instructional video's from you.

BTW- we have Numerous Fire Obsidian we had purchased at a Rock Show and not Touching Them until I know I am Very Confident in Doing So. Only been working on and off on My MAHOGANY OBSIDIAN WE ALSO PURCHASED ALONG WITH THE FIRE a whole Buck of Obsidian. Also have the needed supplies for A Carpet Polisher. Thinking of making several carpet polishing pads- hehehe Thank You for Sharing YMKO!!!

Love the spoiler alert, made the video so much more entertaining. Have a great one. Love the cool stuff you got too by the way, the freeze stuff that you were gifted so maybe you can give some more to us in a drawing or something.

These are the types of videos that the community needs to see. Not everything will be a flawless specimen when done, sometimes things just happen, after all, this is natural material.

My favorite is definitely the second piece. That gold pattern is beautiful and looks amazing. The first one is very pretty as well, but I love the pattern in the second one more❤ And while those may not have turned out the way you wanted them to, they are still incredibly beautiful 🤩

Love it all! Thank you for sharing 🎉

Dang, Kyle! Great video work, great explanation of your work, and you showed everything in real time (speeded up video parts drive me nuts). Well done my friend!

Great video Kyle, I sit here wondering how you dealt with the contamination on your wheels, I hear about this issue a lot, but have yet to see how someone fixes that issue. Maybe you could make a video addressing this, show us what it looks like when contamination has happened and how you deal with it? Also I love both pieces equally ❤

My favorite is the bigger one, as it has 2 different features in one. Don't be so hard on yourself. You did a fantastic job. And you explained everything perfectly!

Cool watching the process to reveal the colors and to see what did and didn't work. Thanks for sharing this and the eye candy, cheers!

Thank you for sharing. It's tough when we hit challenging issues

I agree with Jared. Not everything can be a winner and it's nice to see a great example of it!!
-
It’s Still Spectacular from what I Can See YMKO!!!

I would vote for number two.

That one towards the end is beautiful
-
evert time is a learning experience. thanks for sharing the less than awesome results
-
Somedays peanuts, some days hulls. I like the last one best.

For faceting there are many potential causes and solutions for contamination. If the contamination on the 1200 doesn't work itself out, is there a way that works more often than not for you to save the wheel? Like grinding corundum to try and work out the contaminant or at least make it smaller?

Such a beautiful rock and to bad it didn’t turn out the way you wanted.
