Anniversary is the "old" name ~ in our newest book we updated this to Diamond Cut, the company's original name. This is indeed DG and the color is called Amberescence. Let me know if you wish to update your book!!

Could be just the lighting, but it is iridescent - like a very light marigold carnival glass.

I picked this up at a tag sale recently. I think the pattern resembles Anniversary, but in the Depression glass book I have, iridescent color is not listed. Please help ID this 3-leg, 6" bowl.

I have some Apache tears sent to me by my great-uncle who lived in California. He was a rock collector and often took excursion out into the desert to collect specimens. Apache tears were small round globs of hardened volcanic glass (.a..k.a. obsidian).

Anthracite is very hard coal.
Obsidian is an igneous rock, volcanic, like glass. Natives used it for arrowheads, etc.
