Wow, I've never been more disappointed in how a batch of pictures turned out. This marble, along with the dichro continents, looks AWESOME in hand, but no matter how hard I tried I could not get the camera to show the dichro the way it really looks. Siiiigh. You'll have to just trust me on this one and know that it looks GREAT. You can always return it if you find it's not as cool as you'd hoped, but I'm pretty positive you won't. Check out the pics of the other Earth that sold earlier, that's a better representation of the dichro. The dichro on this marble has green and gold hues.
