This CD 128 HEMINGRAY_CS// E_14B is a very rich opalescent color. It has more of the normal brown "rust" stains, but still far less than you see on most. There is a shallow 3/8" chip in the lower ridge of the wire groove and a little nibbling around the lower lip of the wire groove. The dark opalescent color comes to life in a well lighted area, lighted case or sunlight.
