The HOLY GRAIL of 3D FRACTALS

No need to search anymore guys, It is now here, for real, in my trembling hand! 

Lathed and sculptured by the mathematical GODS

Impossible for us to see or hold before the key to their cosmos was handed over to us by the collaboration of Daniel White, Paul Nylander, Thomas Löwe, Jesse, Luca and many many others at fractalforums.com.

For you who don't know about the quest for this particular Holy Grail, check out the original thread here at fractalforums: http://www.fractalforums.com/3d-fractal-generation/true-3d-mandlebrot-type-fractal/

It is possible to drink from it, but the material is "not foodsafe" according to Shapeways.
A funny fractal detail is that the "bowl" contains a copy of the whole Grail, and that copy contains a copy…

This version is very expensive because there are lots of invisible details inside the "globes", if there are interest I could do a cheaper version where I have booled it out = less material to print.
