I will poke @blankrider here for you. I believe he knows a lot about glass and might not have seen your question. If not he, then for sure he knows other members that might help out.
Maybe change your title to: identify this glass and win a pack of skittles or something just to get it some more attention

I don't know; I can tell you that Mike from Oregon Glass Blower is a great guy, and a pleasure to do business with.

@Vital any chance you know who did this one?
Fucking Combustion has had this sitting unused for 2+ years... I miss enjoying this one.
I'm still trying to figure out how it works...

Here are a few other angles, there is a lot going on in this small piece (about 4+ inches long).
The piece is at a glance just a bad-ass fully worked chillum, with two opals and a dichroic filled marble. The clear chamber is typically what confuses people because one expects the hole to be a carb, but the clear area is simply an alcohol chamber completely independent from the vapor path. Fill it with alcohol, plug the hole with a pencil eraser, load the bowl, and toss it in the freezer.
I haven't used it in years, but best results were if packed before freezing. The less you handle it when it gets out of the freezer, the better. The whole piece frosts up when you pull it out
The end result is a super smooth pull, almost don't notice anything but flavor on the inhale, not icy cold but very cool.
Bought in the midwest, around 2002-2004.

It really is a beautiful piece of artwork. I didn't realize it was a chillum until you posted the other pictures. Do you remember where you got it? I know you said in the Midwest, but could you be more specific?
Do you have a picture that shows the mouthpiece straight on like you do for the bowl? That thing would be very expensive if purchased today. Check out this one that isn't nearly as nice as yours: http://www.highkulture.com/products/alex-schmalex-heady-serendipity-hammer-with-opal.html

Don't knock yourself out...I was just curious what the mouthpiece looks like. I was thinking maybe you could use it in reverse like a vapor tamer...just a thought.
Check out this chillum...not nearly as nice as yours, but it does have an opal.

with heady wigs and marbles like that I wouldn't be surprised if it was early eross or possibly even micro.
