I can't say enough about how clean and beautiful this marble is! Sooooo smooth and flowing throughout. The purples in the pinwheeling, including the legendary lavender - mmmm mmmm GOOD! The vortex is deep, and those lines are like butter. But the backside with that perfect pinwheeling and the sparkle is probably even nicer, and you'll have a which side to display dilemma on your hands! Signed with Shane's sig chip, 'SC 2003'.
