I like the green glowy bits, but the lava orange and the sulphur yellow are great too. The little bits of blueypurplish give a nice contrast, as do the charcoal black bits.

Anyhow, I vote for upgrade, AMD CPU 3000 is coming soon, and apparantly, it's like a religious event.
 
So here's the backstory: I was looking at a similar mineral specimen that is for sale. The description of the specimen claims the yellow stuff is orange and the orange stuff is red. Similarly, the description of the specimen linked above makes the same claim. Now I'm wondering about the prevalence of color blindness among fluorescent mineral nerds.
 
It's definitely yellow and orange. I might give some leeway on the orange cause it has some reddish tones, but the first thing I think when I see it is "orange".
 
Only you know if it's accurate color, assuming you saw the subject in person. And even then, different monitors are calibrated differently so there is no guarantee unless the intended viewers monitor is calibrated similarly.

In the black areas. Which I find much more interesting than the orange and yellow.
 
Jesus Christ Marie, it's a mineral!

I see a mix of reddish orange, yellow, black and green spots.

I can kinda see how the red and yellow could be taken as orange though they are kinda both orangy. This must have been saved using Corel Photopaint. 😛 That program could not reproduce red.
