I have a tumbled ruby that is somewhat like this...this is a bit dark for that stone however. Tumbled obsidian usually turns out with a far more 'glassy' sheen. My best guess would be a tumbled garnet, as it is a birthstone and thus would be more common in jewelry. Well, I didn't buy it at a jewelery store, Bought it on the street. But I know it is real since it actually has a rocky textoreu on its back. Now tat I looks at it, let m,e describe it:

It is mostly a dark brown, or black color, it is quite pearly or glassy when shown at light. It's front shows a purplish, violet, pink color along with a mahogamy like tint around it. The black/darkdark brown and mahogmay colors are opaque, not translusent at all, but the violet, pink parts seem to be vitreous. On the back on the rocky texture there are small, SMALL, my camera or scanner can not capture it, pieces of deep purple color, amethyst level purple.
