That's the schiller effect (or labradorescence) : causing that play of blue and green lights. It's been the wallpaper on all : my PCs for a couple years now. Printed at 18"x13" is even nicer than when : seen on a monitor. Whenever people are flipping through a stack of 8"x10" : proof-prints of mine they never fail to make an involuntary exclamation : when uncovering this one. : : That slab could probably withstand 2 or 3 more slicings but the hefty mass : of it makes for an impressive display piece. Mesmerizing to hold and tilt : in the sunlight. But unless you're prepared to crop it, it's not in the prescribed 8:5 aspect ratio and therefore doesn't qualify. Bob
