I get it from the local fly shop. If you want it, he can sell it to you on line. I haven't seen it in any other shops so far. If you order it, try the opal pearl first. Then there are colors, actually 'tints', in light blue, pink, yellow-gold, and I think some new ones. But all have the same shiny look and reflection- I just like the opal best. I'm trying to get the factory to sell it to me in bulk, but no luck yet.
This is the web site for the Platte River Fly Shop, where I get it. The owner's name is Mark Boname. If you've been to some of the western shows, you may have seen their booth. If you want to fish or float the N. Platte River, this guy is the guy to talk to. He also carries an assortment of my big Fantasy Flies, so he's my bud. There's pictures of him and the 'group' on the Baja fishing page of my web site. His shop is also my first link.
