Never heard of either of those chalice names. They may be names given by a particular grower or reseller. If you can trace where is can from that may marrow down one of the two names.

It is a very nice piece. Looks better under normal lights than blues. To me it seems sunburst would be yellow or orange base color.

My blue pic is not very good. Taken with a phone. :nerd:

Under blues it actually looks just as good if not better than a crazy fox piece we have. The eyes are red with a yellow center and the bright green rim really pops.

Kind of looks like a mummys eye with yellow in the eye and a cool rim.

Maybe IIMB Chalice?

That piece is teal green with orange eyes and green rind.

Your piece is nice that is certain but where did you get it? That would be easier to trace the name but without a birth certificate it can not be given a name.

Picked it up in Jacksonville at Bioreef. They called it sunburst when I bought it and I have seen them call the same piece cowabunga.

They were just down here in orlando at last weeks show. If they named it, that is its name. Even if it looks like someone else's piece it can not carry the other name. It is bio reef's sunburst. Sunburst may also be used by another grower/fragger.

I'll have to go to jax and look for another frag of that. Looks good.

Yes i just glanced by their booth at last weekends show. I should have made it more a point. That is a piece i would like to have added. If priced within reason, goes without saying.
