Pink/purple/ Green yuma. Got lucky.

An awsome customer brought in this nice ricordea for me to frag for her, and gave me a section of the cut. Has anyone seen anything like it?



This pic was taken with a flash.



another with flash..



and now cut up into 4 sections....hope they heal well got a bunch of mouth with each cut.

i cut it with a razor on the rock... then took a screw driver and placed it between the two pieces and hit it with a hammer. worked out nice on this piece.

Now I just hope the pieces do well. crossing my fingers...

When I clicked the link, I thought I was going to see a pinkish/purple center with green around it... looks like orange/green. Nevertheless, it looks really nice!!!

Here is a picture of mine:

Alright you have your florida ricordea which like intense light even halides...On the other hand you have your yuma ricordeas which like bright light just not halides...

hope this answers your question,
