Straight from the darkside...

Deep blue-black base with firey red overlay. I will try to get some crisper shots later in the day, as this thing just arrived.

I would compare it to the Darth Maul Chalice, Almost identical in physical characteristics, but it wasn't purchased as this, So I can't officially call it that. Its definately different. Will do Luciano.

good score....e. aspera? looks pretty sweet.

IMO, looks identical to the lava chalice from AA, although their picture is ***** over-saturated

its not pinky at all. If anything, its reddish orange in some spots. Also I did notice on a few mouths there is almost a rainbow effect. In some spots it has red cast over the deeper under color. I am going to take some more pics now, be back in a few.

With daylight and no actinic it looks mostly red. With actinics though it comes to life. The deep colors pop. Its a difficult one to shoot. It looks red in some pics and in some pics the dark under color shines through strong. And the white balance is difficult to get true, alot of the macro's come out oversaturated. I took some more pics. About 60 pics and I think 3 are postable. . In a few I draw attention to the rainbow eyes.

I have one that looks like that as well. Becareful with it and don't give it too much light. It will bleach in strong light and these color chalices take a long time to color back up.
