ooh, I'm not really a blue fan, but that IS a beautiful color!!

[hummingbird_sales2410]

Yes and I want more of that blue, it comes close to the NM skies without being to dark. I have to be able to work it without it cracking. ~sigh~ Lauri

Hi Gus, I have used the Pink and Celedon. They play nicely with the other 104 glasses but will crack if encased. The colors are great, I even had the pink work very nicely with Rabino. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300028130858&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=020 Jim
