$600 dollars for a large, brown hammer just does not make sense.

Now you understand why it is described as (Aussie ULTRA Gold Show Piece).
It has all the key words to jack the price up. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to corals anyway. A 7 1/2" piece would demand a fairly high price tag as well, no matter what the color is trying to be.

although, that orange torch i have is supposed to be an "aussie gold" torch. in regular daylight it is slightly orange

but in actinic and led moonlight it looks like this

regardless, $500 is ridiculous! (by about $400)
