My mummy eye chalice is now around 4x4 with 17 eyes. I am curious as I have only purchased frags, what size should this be before I frag it. While I am not selling frags here, I am curious as to what some thing a good price might be on a 1-2 eye frag.
Thanks for the input.

Not sure of a price but your chalice is totally large enough to frag. I would chop that sucker in half and start making some trades! I would be interested in an eye or 2 pending pictures.

How are you going to frag the chalice. I am about ready to cut into one of mine and have not done one before?

Any tips or direction on fragging one?

TIA

Dremmel tool with the cutting wheel. Perfect cuts.

I would suggest not using a dremel. It tends to burn the flesh and cause them to recede a little.

Yeah I will just use razor blades and hammer. Not as bad as it sounds. Dremmel has heat issues ='s dead tissue (sometimes). This is thin enough i can razor it and tap. If you google Acan fraggin chalice youtube you will pull up enough vids to illustrate this. Any ideas on what is a fair price for 1-2 eye frags. Some of the prices are crazy. See anywhere from 80 to 175 on these.

I am not going to be selling I am planning on trading for these when they heal. I will do it this weekend and post some pics of what turns out.

The prices vary so much as of late.
It seems the online retailers price are 150.00-200.00 per eye on avg.
But reefers are selling 2-3 eye frags for around that price.
