This picture doesn't do it justice, but there is a lot figure to go with the intense color of this blank.
Like the first one, the color fully saturates the blank. It cuts, drill, and turns easily although it smells kinda' funny (the closest I can describe it is as a combination of Acrylic Acetate blanks and fried liver :wink. The blank polishes up nicely (this one is just polished -- no finish).
One other interesting thing I noticed -- the blank has a feel of resiliency to it. May stabilized blanks seem hard almost to the point of being brittle, but this seemed to have almost a slight (very slight) rubberiness to it that gave it a very nice, smooth turning quality.
