Sorry for the delay in posting this for sale. Folks have probably lost interest in it, but I said Id make it available. Apologies. F.S. $250 First person to dibs gets it. Payment via Paypal. Include $9 for insured shipping in the CONUS only, and I will cover fees. Unless otherwise informed, payment should be within 24 hours, and I will in turn ship it out within 24 hours of receiving payment. 47mm. (1.85 inch) Super nice, super deep rainbow fumed vortex. This one has a very tight, extended vanishing point that the pictures dont come close to capturing and which kept screwing with my zoom lens auto-focus when looking straight into, so I just put up the macro shot of that perspective. Theres a lot of very fine micro detail in the vortex, and even a nice swath of subtle purply pinks (my fav. :D) I took pictures both with a zoom lens (pics with grey backdrop), as I think thats more of an everyday vantage, and also a macro lens which gives you all the detail as if you were intently gazing up close. The pictures of the marbles backing surface work that have the grey background I think best translate the color balance of that side, since the flash is set back from it, whereas the macro shots the flash is right up at the marble. The back on this one is a vibrantly colored raked design that takes up a good 75% of the surface area of the marble. Youd think that would make the window into the vortex cramped, but the transition from the backing to the lens really opens it up nicely, and in my opinion its perfectly balanced. Also there was the happy accident where my tungsten pick left perfect little bubble traps in the 6 areas where the lens interlocks to the backing. You can just barely see the 6 little bubbles in some of the pictures, which I thought was a cool little touch. Also the dark line of color around the star termination on the back that looks black is actually a really velvety dark blue sparkle that doesnt translate into photos, and the central star itself is an alien techy silvery shimmering yellowy-green, which just gets over exposed in photos. Please let me know if you have any other questions about the marble. Cheers! Ill be away for a few hours and wont be able to monitor this at that time, so I will respond to any questions or comments as soon as I can. Thanks everyone. :)
