Beautiful!

Colour leans toward magenta in this one - I thought they are usually bluer. Is that the original shade or the effect of colour balance?

Thanks Beatsy.

I think they are original shades, this part is one segment where I have not seen before. Mounting it horizontally is a bit tricky, but this time, I uncovered this part.

Just did a 50x one on another part of it, boring and color seem to be yellowish, more inline with what I got before.
