OK, sencond try of a fish scene is on the way
Dont know really what to call this material. Was told gem sillica, but while there surely are sections of the material justyfying that title, I rather call is Gem Silica in Chrysocola.
After today
This is so much harder to do than the last one. The waterflow needs to work optically, otherwise that will never look right. Then comes the fish: I got no idea yet as to how deep I need to cut to allow the creature to be seen. So there is lots of experimenting ahead.
Two surprises already observed: contrary to the usual; sanding increases the colour-strenght, and the dark blue/black on top might turn into purple/red.
