The coppery color and that metallic/black and other colors for contrast; totally gorgeous. It also looks like an exotic exoplanet. Wow.

Wow...top 10 for sure.  That thing is the bomb.  It looks like you achieved a perfect orb which is not an easy trick with that material.  Great photo sequence as well, it changed appearance with every turn!

Love how the color gradient makes it look like it's glowing from within. Gorgeous sphere!

Thanks for the comments, it’s hard to go wrong with this material.
I have slabs I’d like to trade if anyone has material big enough to sphere. Looking for something I might not have in my collection.
