This was the first attempt at creating a Quintessence cone. It makes a nice counterpoint to the final version, so I call this one Dark Quintessence. It uses a base of the (now discontinued) Black Nebula art glass, ornamented with a Gold Aventurine spiral and pediment. Then Black Dichroic and Red bands are added and swirled into the piece. The whole is encased in Steel Transparent glass. It is larger than the other pieces, as it encorporates more glass.
