I'm patiently waiting for frags D. All those gems look great
 
Here is a shot I got of my Rainbow Crush right before the lights went out tonight. It's amazing how much detail a macro lens can pull out. I didn't know how awesome this piece looked until I loaded it up on the computer.

Anybody else on here have Joe's shock fire besides myself and SDguy? From what Joe says from Joe knows reefs there's only supposed to be like 4-5 frags of this that have been released...I've been very satisfied with mine...def. has many colors I'll have to get some pics up...I've had it a couple weeks and gosh it seems to get brighter by the day...does anybody else have this that would like to share? I just haven't heard any input from the other two or so that own it besides SDguy and myself...anybody planning on buying Joe's shock fire?
 
I should be getting my shockfire frag in the mail soon and I'll be sure to post some pics alongside my friend's dynamite. I'd love to see a pic of yours.

I would have never guessed this is a RC frag....looks like the dynamite to me lol. Nice either way. Even SDguys new RC looks a lot different than the first ones that hit the scene; like Ian's and Dnov's piece above...I wonder if rnegret had two "similar" RC colonies and takes frags from both? Or maybe he ran out of the original and is now selling another RC? Or maybe they are the same......too many rainbows too little money!!!!!!

^ I was actually thinking the exact the same thing this morning. If these are all from the original rainbow crush colony, then different parts of the colony must've had different dominant colors. Atleast I hope that's the answer! I guess there's no way of really ever knowing. That's why I like this thread because I don't wanna drop major cash on a duplicate piece lol.
 
^the red in mine is not as bright as the picture makes it seam but it is close. Definitely doesn't have the same coloration as dnov's. Negret's flaming Bugatti doesn't look too much different either.
 
Well the candyshop landed yesterday and they all look good. I'll get pictures up probably Sunday. I can say for a definite that the flamin' phoenix is the exact same as another well known rainbow around these R2R parts. I'll put up a comparison picture for you to see. A couple of the rainbows are also the same as others in this thread. They are all stunning by the way.

Sorry, I didn't mean to stand everyone up. This past weekend was really busy. I promise to get this done this week!

Beautiful and impressive collection. Since you get to see them all in person, are there any yet that you suspect are duplicate pieces?
 
heres my jelly bean frag

I was at WWC earlier in the month. I saw that frag and tried to buy it. I didn't realize it had been sold already. It was the only item in the entire store that I considered a must have. Comparing my i-Phone pic to your photo, it's the exact same frag for sure.
Nice pickup. PLease post when it has 15 or 20 eyes. I'm dying to see what a full sized piece looks like.

Thanks Billy, all the pieces in this photo form WWC and JF and certainly different. There are subtle difference in structure and coloration.

amazing collection. :marv :marv

Thanks!

i have Joe's Shockfire, SC Dynamite, Joe's Roid Rage, and Flash Bomb. They are all distinctively different. i will try to get someone with a real camera to shoot them for you to scrutinize. my iphone will not suffice in this comparison!
 
Really nice Darren! From the picture I think my favorites are rainbow crush and then the jelly bean but they all look very sweet.
 
Here is one of my Rainbow chalice i had to cut up it got damaged after falling off and landing on another chalice over night
