Actually, let me say that when you look at this leather, you see tiny, TINY spots of gold. But then it vanishes instantly, and the leather looks dark bronze. The twinkle of gold is in the crackled part of the leather, and it really does look crackled. Still, the goldish part disappears almost before you realize you've seen it. Very pretty, very interesting leather. Really reminds me of Chocolate Crash, but it's much heavier than the crashes. Thicker.
