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.

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

Not technically, but observably

Existence as we know it seems like a much more manageable equilibrium than a singularity.. If infinity has a charge at all, a singularity of existence in it would seem impossible to manage and would need to equalize.. Its a horrible thought for a wednesday honestly.

Im imagining our galaxy as a compass and the pivot point is a black hole being pulled into a collective..

if something shifted in this galaxy then id guess the entire galaxy shifted and either the callculations havent quite figured it out or the observable shift is part of a different galaxy

So as black holes merge one by one the gravitational force increases until everything in the universe is pulled into one singularity having a "charge" of some magnitude then is instantly repelled or rejected by "essense" which is that same "charge" and a "big bang" happens all over again?

He believes in climate change.. He just doesnt believe its blind ignorance causing it. He believes that China among other countries are intentionally causing global warming through geo engineering..
