Very Cool Jabo

I've mentioned my fondness for the Oxblood/Aventurine series at various times.

Recently looked at some of them a little more closely and realized that I'd never

noticed some of their most striking features. Specifically, there's a lot of clear glass

in many of them that isn't immediately apparent in normal lighting conditions. To be

honest, I always thought the marble shown below had a nice green color pattern on

a bricky base. But the green is from another part of the marble, the pattern is clear

glass with some nice blood lines, and if you light it just the right way it looks pretty great. ( :

Oh, I see. You thought the oxblood should show up behind the green U, and it didn't.

When you mentioned seeing different things in Jabos under different lighting my imagination went another way. I thought of some of the darker Tributes which turn out to have rich colors when you cast a strong light onto their surface.

Same thing for the "Woodstock" variety of the Lawn Chairs . . .
