"Chromadome" Size: 1.73" Price: SOLD


This one is the first of this style that I've seen from Daiki, where he basically created a vortex or well effect in the marble by lining two thirds with his mille and then leaving the top third or so as a clear lens. This gives two completely different viewpoints of the marble from the two sides. One the one side, you see this tightly packed layering of mille that is a complex feast for the eyes. But then when you flip it over, you get drawn inside the marble to see the magnified reverse sides of all of those mille. Whereas they look flat on the outside, they look more bulbous in nature from the other side as you look inside, due to the magnification. It's a seriously sweet effect in hand, and it will force you to rotate the viewing points of this marble from side to side over time, because each view is equally awesome!!
