I can't even begin to give a name to the color of this single groove LRI. It is part clear at the base, pinkish above, sort of purple in other areas! It is one of my personal favorites in my collection. It also has color streaks in it which appear to be a 'brown-purple' tone. Purchased from Jerry Turner at one of the NIA National shows in the 1980s, perhaps at Saratoga Springs, NY in 1986. I believe that I have seen another LRI in this color, though I think it was a different pattern. Very, very unusual. (the photo is way too purple!)
