Welcome to the group! I really like the textures and colors of the star fruit. Reminds me when the kids were still home and our son loved star fruit. Very nice piece.

Michelle - I love this! Every Christmas morning we have star fruit for breakfast. It is one of my favorite fruits. My face totally brightened when I saw your post.

I love this, Michelle - especially that shimmer of turquoise in the indentations of the fruit.
