handgathered peewee ... that sounds so strange ... delicate work on the punty.

I can Magic Eye. So if I can see the picture here, I will eventually be able to see bubbles on the dark side of the moon ... er ... the dark side of the moss agate? Okay, I'll try!

Are those moon craters on the dark side? Sorry for highlighting if that's damage .... but gotta ask ..... nicely spacey looking.

Welcome, Dennis. Nice to have you aboard.

Nice. She looks like a real person. Enjoyed the video. :)

Here is a good afternoon's reading: Carskadden And Gartley's Chapter On Agates

From Colonial Period and Early 19th-Century Children's Toy Marbles, by Richard Gartley and Jeff Carskadden. keeperthread

I thought I saw green on one which made me think "anti-blackie". But if it's red and white without the extra color, then "anti-whitie" could work. http://marbleconnection.com/topic/13092-anti-blackies/

Nice bump.

Halo actually seems like a cool name for them. I just hadn't heard it before.

(Your Botswana agates are sharp too, Dave. )

So sharp. How big is that one?

I like!

Good tool. Thanks.

Where did you see that? I can't find it. Did you make the offer?

Sounds good! Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too.

Nope, nothing wrong with that.

That used to be a popular link. Clearly I should consult it more often since these marbles were a surprise to me. I thought they were more marbles from the American Marble & Toy Mfg. Co. but nooooooo.

So this second "Local Estate Fresh" box is from a 2012 Morphy auction? http://morphyauctions.hibid.com/lot/9751932/christensen-agate-no--1-worlds-best-guinea-box- Well, it still could theoretically be someone who bought the Morphy guineas and then passed away and this was part of their estate. But an ebay seller using an old pic for something which is worth thousands? ??????? and more ???????
