That multicolored one is blowing my mind. :o Reminds me of tree rings. Very cool.

    They look great! Would be very interesting to see what they look like with an LED illuminating them (whoops, you beat me to it while I was writing...). The crystal "formations" could also make a very cool addition to a saber stand and the like. Please keep working on these and sharing images of the results :)

Thank you very much, Modern-Day Warrior, and Johannes Huber for the kind words. Hadn't even thought of a Saber Stand w/ a few crystal formations on it. Would be kinda cool indeed.

I don't know how I missed this. I glad I found it.

Hey this 2 attempt is going well. Looks like your on the right track!

The opaque look really looks good. Then translucency of the crystals is good. Keep up the good work. :shy:

Those are very cool! I second the idea of putting them in a lightsaber stand display.

Thank you so much for the compliments. Life has been kinda overwhelming for a bit, so I haven't been able to make more of these like I want to.

E13azar : I tool them in a coldworking shop, then bring them back to the hot shop for polishing and assembly

Darth Ryo, I gave the blue one away in a scavenger hunt, But I do still have the red one. If you are interested in it P.M. me

Thank you again for taking the time.

MTFBWY all

Very nice glass crystals Satori; I could easily picture those in a saber after your back-lit images!
