Robert is one of the most exciting new artists on the scene today, and he is making some absolutely killer fumed and dichro vortices, usually with opals in them like this one. This nice sized gem has a gorgeous spherical opal in it that is sooo planet like, it really feels other worldly. The opal is being sucked down into a fumed and dichro lined timewarp that really sparkles. If that wasn't enough, that backside is suuuh-WEET, with stunning green sparkle and tasty lavender highlighted raking. Awesome marble for the price! Signed 'RR 18'.
