December 7 - Kalisan Mirror White Gold

I'll bet you're his masterpiece
I'll bet you're his self-control
Yeah you'll become his legacy
His quiet world of white and gold

~ Insider - Tom Petty (1981)

After being so delicate with old expired chrome balloons, getting a new pack was kind of an amazing experience.

Chrome .. well "Mirror" in Kalisan vernacular, have an interesting and different feel to them than normal latex, there is a .. smoothness?   They lack that elastic springback and need 'encouragement' to get the pressure correct because of it.

These were sturdy, but like "I could probably twist up a replacement motorcycle parts" sturdy.  I tended to overinflate and deflate the amount I was going to twist, these are certainly not meant to be inflated by humans.  

Overall impression of Kalsan mirror white gold?  Great balloon, the color is what I would consider Platinum (about 5 gold pieces in classic D&D) - how many things do you need to be platinum though, this is another chrome color that needs a specific purpose to get got and remains simply a novelty.
