Tectonic Seas blank

[qquake]

Has anyone ever turned a Lava Explosion blank called Tectonic Seas from Exotic? It doesn't look like the blues are as dark as their example.

Lava Explosion Pen Blanks #02 - Tectonic Seas

These beautiful and exotically swirled pen blanks are hand made in small batches here in the US. They are made from Alumilite resin that is known for its beauty, resilience and durability.

I have not, but would love to see what it looks like. I would buy a few. I would paint the inside of the barrel white or very light blue. I would try it on a pen with some meat on it. If it's Alumilite, it is it may be relatively opaque.

You are definitely right !

Yours is way lighter. . Those blanks are made by a guy in Texas. . His own website is ... www.muttblanks.com ...
He might have some Tectonic Seas blanks listed there if you want to check. . Pretty sure that it is an Alumilite blank.

It looks very opaque, so I took a chance and only colored the epoxy.

Just like the Tardis is bigger on the inside, this blank is prettier on the inside. I think it's going to be stunning when it's polished.

It reminds me of looking at the earth from outer space. It should turn out beautiful.

I thought the same thing, but Exotic's website says it's alumilite, and it turns like it is. Very messy!

 

[qquake]

Yep, it's stunning!

Very nice!

The color seems to have darkened up ?? ... compared to your first pics.

Nice shine, too ... espec. for Alumilite

Yeah the dark blues came out.

I think the second one is going to be just as nice.

Thanks for posting updates! These are very pretty.

Oh yeah, maybe even prettier than the first. You know, I just looked closely at them, and they remind me of storms over the ocean.
