Here's a suuuper rare collab between Japanese legend Akio (Akihisa Izumi) and N8 (Nate Miers) which might even be a one of a kind between these two artists, as I've never seen another one. The combo of Akio's 'amicello' style of reticello with N8's killer space fuming is pure marble perfection, because for some reason the two styles just mesh SO well together. There is also fuming above the amicello and a VERY sweet black rainbow opal in the center of N8's section. What might be the coolest feature though is what it looks like when you turn the lights off and hit it with the black light! There are great UV colors in both the fuming and the amicello so that it creates a killer 3D pattern. This one is wildly cool and VEEEEERY hard for me to let go of! Signed 'Akio 2023'.
