So is that black what you get from the burning process, or added? (I’ve done slate)

That black is glass from the stone itself nothing was added

If you downloaded the pic you can zoom in and see where bubbles occurred :japanese_ogre:

You can see bubbles on both Tux and Trogdor

Also it you zoom in you will see two “auras” around the glass area. I am guessing it is from levels of heating around the glass.
