The picture doesn't do that tortoise justice. I saw it in full daylight, and it's absolutely stunning.
That is true, but I have not had good daylight for the last 2 days. I played some tricks with backlighting, and in these pictures there is too much contrast (not software manipulated, just due to the backlighting) but gives a better representation of the coloring. 4 shots 90 degrees apart with backlighting:

Edit: I liked that so much that I did the Doric backlit also:

And in all of the other excitement I forgot to include my complete Boden (made in a nearby village but I forgot the name) drafting set.

Oh dear Jeph. You went well beyond my wildest expectations of you going on a fountain pen buying spree.
These are excellent additions to your stash!
Well done and now it is my turn of looking at going to Germany next year.
