Just thought I would share a picture of my new addition, Chalice. From purchasing this one I can tell you one thing, it will not be the last one!! Let me know what you think! Its a HUGE colony, about 8"X8". And, as you can see, it has some insane colors.

Thanks guys! I saw it and had to have it. It looks much better in person and being that it is such a large piece is why I liked it. Just thought I would show it off and see what people thought.

Exceeding beyond the limitations
set down by others shall be my goal.
Sacrificing personal comforts and dedicating myself
to the completion of the reconnaissance mission shall be my life.

The title of Recon Marine is my honor.​

Conquering all obstacles, both large and small,
I shall never quit.
To quit, to surrender, to give up is to fail.

I was talked out of half of it today by a good friend. I traded him half of it for some nice SPS. So, I can take a picture of what is now half....... After cutting it, I wish I would not have. But, I enjoy sharing nice peices. While cutting I also took off a couple frags to sell to make up for the cost. Its terrible, once I get the dremel in my hands I just cant help myself!!
Ill take a picture tomorrow.

I have been thinking of a name for it since I cant seem to find another like it. I believe you just named it!! Bubble Gum Chalice. You are correct, it does look like Bubble Gum Ice Cream.
Thanks!

Here is a bad picture of the colony. For some reason I can not get a decent picture of the colony?? After cutting it the colony is still about 8X5.
