It was looking beat up awhile back and to think I can't keep chalice so was selling for 120, no one bought it :). it a good 5" piece and now it look amazing in my tank. It getting huge and I am thinking of fraging it, but don't know how and price. Do I need a saw to frag chalice ?

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.

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) :p
Glad to hear it is doing well. :)

$99 per eye! I count about 150 eyes lol, so 150x99=14850. I am rich now :)

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.
