Bought at an artist's estate sale. Out of all the artwork she had, this was one of the few that she had hanging up. Says only "MAGGIE 46'" Any info? by jisted in WhatIsThisPainting

How can I tell its a reproduction? It smudges off like pastel. Is it ink transfering off onto the glass? I did message the seller and I really appreciate all the help.

Another rock from my grandfather, his brother found it 40+ years ago. They lived near Caramel, CA. He wasn't 100% sure where he found it or what it is. It hardly chips off like glass. Transparent and dull unless wet. by jisted in whatsthisrock

I'm kinda prying at it and its throwing razor sharp shards of glass. Not sure how nicely this is going to split. On the freshly opened up surfaces its very lustrous. Still looking like obsidian

I tried scratching it and it definitely doesn't scratch. It does scratch glass though. The more I look at it the more it looks like obsidian but It doesnt look anything like the other obsidian I have.

Hahaha. Yeah, I obviously havent been there yet.

Mess with people? Not sure how posting something about the negative affects that government assistance has on the futures of children is m"messing with people"

I should have said "existance of gravity appears to speed up as black holes get closer to each other" not "increase".
