Here's images of them wet. I didn't include the cubed polished one since it just looks the same. 2 of the stones have different patterns on different sides

Pretty sure it is, yes. Obsidian *is* glass, for all intents and purposes, so is transparent and lets light through. Not many other stones that are dark do that.

Okay, that's really cool. It's always been one of my favorites (especially in terms of weapons), I just never knew it could be green. I know that there are man-made colors though too, like blue. I'll dig through the website when I have a chance to sit and devote like an hour to it and see what they have for obsidian

Okay, the white one with the black might be tourmaline. Still unsure about the orange and black, and the yellowish with cloudy inclusions (last pic). The others I stand by my guesses.

One of my broodies quit. None of her eggs were viable, so at least there was a reason. Always makes me annoyed when they abandon a good nest

OK welcome to another episode of rants with Fluffy I'm debating whether I want to think about breeding a third breed. My absolute favorite is and will always be aseel, but I can't find one frigging hen, so I can't do anything until I find her. Then we've got the Tsouloufati, those ones are making me less and less encouraged to breed them. There's no standard, my birds will be totally different than another's, and I'm starting to question if my flock is even worth it, they're laying EE eggs after all. So all this has made me question if I'd like to get into something more serious, a true breed with a standard I could breed towards, but I don't even know what that breed could be, plus for some weird reason I feel like I'd be doing a disservice to aseel

Ducks?

Ducks?

Not yet. That'll come in 5 or more years, but it will come

On another note, I was greeted by this monstrosity in the 'regular' ducks' nest this morning:

It weighed in at 4.91 oz / 139 g! I feel so sorry for the poor girl that laid this!

You could breed silkies
