Steph Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hi there. You just sprained my eyeballs. I didn't know micas came in so much variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-80 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Great looking group Jeff. I don't remember seeing these at the Des Moines Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 And some people have wondered why I love micas . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I don't wonder why, I think they are terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Here is a nice blue one, with a ground pontil. I tried to show the characteristics of the pontil and the other pole (also working on one with faceted pontils...but haven't got that one right yet.).

Jfranke Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks guys, it's taken a long time just to get these few that I pictured! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Very nice. I didn't think much of Mica's when I first got into marbles, but I've come around a bit and they certainly have eye appeal with that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfranke Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Micas will be my primary type I'm going into. But of coarse any faceted Pontil rare handmade is a good candidate for my collection!😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManofKent Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Jeff - you're proving a bad influence on me... My first - just under 17mm, ground pontil and a black filament at it's core: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
