Who made the "eyeball" marble for the movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean"?

The original was plastic and was meant to clutter up your shelves as a trinket.

If you have modern glass and hit it with a reduction atmosphere in your glory hole, you can get it to look like old glass.

Here is what we saw:

a lot of buffing questions stem from your perspective as to what you are looking for, IE increased value, or aesthetics. Me personally, I have only had 3 large marbles either polished or buffed. A small sulphide so beat you couldnt see inside- turned out to be a number 3, a swirl that looked like the moon x 100, and another large swirl that was completely frosted over - this one I only hit it with a low grit just so I could see the colors/patterns.

approx 600 tons of clearies, some with a metal sheen, others are just solid colors. must have a tax number to get them.

fixin to make a buy here in a couple days. Will post some pictures then.

What the title says. I can get a lot of them. They've been out of biz for a few years now.

and good equipment.

was talking about original link.

same process he uses. make a cube, saw the corners and grind away to make a sphere. Doable.

here are the other 2

not all catseye cane but still looks nice. black aventurine, end of day panels, lutz ribbon and some solid green aventurine, and black with strands of lutz.

For aesthics, and clarity, you really dont need to polish under 3000. Only when you desire to see the micro structure of the glass would you consider going lower on the grit.

I put horse radish on the dogs food last night. Why? What is dog food but horse, right?

I named my vehicle "Niverous".

sorry Ann, couldnt find the button to send the photo via message, so here it is:

Sad day indeed.

Ill be working on the cane this weekend. Black aventurine, EOD vanes (might be hard to do as the cane gets pulled approx 6' or longer and would appear as stripes) and lutz. Ann, I do have some peewee 12 vanes Ill send you a picture.

what would you all like to see in a contemporary cat eye? Going to be pulling some cane next weekend and am going to pull out the stops.
