yeah, here is his pic v/s my pic. his is under 20k radium. my radiums haven't kicked on yet, but i will take a pic under my radiums for comparison. i will emphasize that it did just arrive this morning. hopefully some more colors come through when it settles in. :)

i will say that i did get some other nice pieces from him, so i am happy overall. had i bought just this piece, and had it show up expecting to see what his pics showed, it'd probably be another story!

these are the others i bought from him...

I like the other pieces- the florida gator & the frozen tundra especially. I don't mean to be negative but that's what I find hard about buying online, is you don't know how accurate the picture is and what you'll actually get. It's really a buyer beware approach.

Wow that sucks he made it look like the almighty chalice and that is not cool. :( i do not like when people make thier stuff look different than when you get it makes me really mad. You must be livid i know i would be for that price hope it colors up for you. (photoshop is bad for just that reason)

i will definitely give it a good month before making a final judgement.

but yes, i agree with you. i would much rather show an honest photo and have the customer be happier if it looks better in person than the other way around.
