Image has been white balanced to 16000K and exposure reduced a hair. No other adjustments on this one.

This was sold to me as "CB Rainbow Crush," but looks much more like the CB Rainbow Fuego to my eye. A forum member suggested it may be a WWC Jelly Bean.

Chunk measures about 1" x 1". I'll include Fedex overnight in the final sale price if any offers come in at a point that makes me want to sell it.

Asking $600, as this is comes out to less than I originally paid per eye on the chalice, but I'm open to offers (or even people telling me I'm out of my mind if I think I'll see $600 on this...)

Ultimately, my goal is to roll whatever I make into another frag of this guy and a good saw so I can start cutting pieces to sell at more reasonable prices.

Not being a jerk but is 1"x1" a mini colony standard? Just wondering for future purchases?

Truthfully, I don't know. This thing is covered in mouths that are feeding well. Most of these rainbow Chalices online seem to be pinky nail sized frags with one, maybe two mouths on them. I'll update the listing if someone would suggest a better way to list it!

Yea im not sure either the standard of the mini colony varies so I assume its just by preference. I never know how to advertise these price either. Always tough. Nice piece though

Around 300 might work. The rainbow chalice craze kinda started going in 2018. Beautiful for sure. But once heavily saturated on the market. It becomes boring to many. Everyone sells off and the craze comes back 10-15 years down the road. There's still some ultras popping up. But they're ultra colored and not many have them. So they have the rare effect. Not to mention the time we're. Hope this helps. Not trying to bring you down. Just seams like you're unsure. If you can get 600 get it.

Definitely unsure as to pricing. I paid $200 for two eyes, so I figured eyes seem like the metric most chalice listings go by, and I'd shave 40% ish off what I paid per eye.

If $300 is fair, $300 is fair. I'll let it grow out some more, probably pick up a saw, and start doing some cuts instead at that price point.

I appreciate the input!
