    I love stores that just sell their corals by size. Picked up this unbelievable chalice today for 50 bucks, bout 3-4" in diameter. At first look it was this beautiful orange with a nice solid dark green slash going through it. Only when i stared close enough i could see the colors starting to form on this piece, it has the most amazing rainbow colors developing, I can't believe my find.

    It will fit in nice with my collection now.

    first two pics are with flash on so thats how it looks at first, the next two i loaded into photoshop under my blue lights and adjusted the white balance. Pic 4 is the closest to how it looks in real time. Still quite hard photographing leds.
