This 'Hoopskirt' is a very beautiful and dark yellow-olive green, with a few red amber streaks and swirls thrown in. I photo'd it next to a garden variety medium-to-dark olive green Diamond Pony to give the viewer a comparison as to why I'm calling it yellow-olive. It has a short, half inch or so fracture (that is topical and does not go all the way through the glass), which is from a piece of firebrick and is as-made, as well as a ping about pea-sized, as if from a BB, all in all a nice, clean insulator sure to add a lot of eye appeal to your shelf for a paltry $25, plus $5 shipping.
