I got this chalice from Jroovers a while back and now it healing up nicely. I was looking to get an id on it and find it call Tyree bubble gum monster chalice. Did I got the name right? I want to get a second opinion.

I find it look exactly like bubble gum monster so putting here to get a second opinion. If someone know differ than correct me or bubble gum monster it is. Very cool name!

Fragging is easy. But it depends on what the chalice is growing on. If it's just growing out from the rock. The fringe should be easy to cut. But if it's encrusted over a rock. You're going to need a saw for sure.It was looking beat up awhile back and to think I can't keep chalice so was selling for 120, no one bought it

That is a super nice chalice. It came from Bill at IA. Darryl always compared it to the Jason Fox Hippie Magic chalice (he got the exact same one too and it melted away); it looks identical:

These things are only worth what someone pays for them; $99 per eye is a bit steep in my eyes (pun intended)
Glad to hear it is doing well.

I count about 150 eyes x $99 = 14,850 . lol we at TFT including myself find it hard to pay even $50 per eye. I need to get this to the state somehow

IMO its not really fair to name your chalice after a desginer chalice that looks very similar but has no lineage to the designer piece. If your chalice was not bought and grown as a "tyree bubble gum monster" then it is NOT a Tyree Bubble gum monster. The piece you have is amazing and regardless of a designer name its colour speaks for itself. If you were to sell frags you could call it something original and then post a photo of the Tyree or the Jason Fox and mention its similar looking which can help justify a higher price for frags.
A designer name is just that ....a designer name. Let your coral do the talking not some bullshit name.... and your coral does the talking just fine without one

Totally agree!!!
I'm not really into the name thing so much and frankly it has become so diluted with the number of online vendors out there now, but any of my "named" pieces can be traced right back to RR or Tyree or JF or Sniper...... And if it cannot be definitely traced...then it is not the same just similar....maybe just as nice or even nicer in some cases but not the same.
