While I do think the pics of this Acid Eater collab look pretty sweet, I gotta say, they still do so little to convey how awesome this marble is as compared to seeing it in hand! This one is a true jewel in the Acid Eater lineup, sparkling and flamboyant in every way. Mike nailed the Eater as usual, perfectly crafted, crazy as always, blinging away in its wild state of mind...but the real magic happens when you turn this over and are instantly hypnotized by the pattern Travis pulled off on the backside. It is magnificent, and has to be held in hand in order to experience the dimensionality of it, spun around, explored, and marveled at. This is glass brilliance at its finest, a royal gem fit for kings and queens, yet at the same time completely out of their league. This marble is flat out sparkly fun!! The dichro and the opals contained in this one will get you giddy every time you look at it. It's one of my top few favorite Acid Eaters I've ever seen, and I've seen a LOT of them by now. Seriously hard to let go of - all of my willpower is involved here, ha haa. Congrats to the lucky owner of this one!
