Weird. And attractive.

I have a marble which looks cobalt but has a lot of color inside which only shows up when backlit with a strong light. I've assumed it was Master. No idea why they wasted so much color inside such a dark marble.

As I've said elsewhere, Sarah's Sunshine and Bobby's Bricks are my favorites. I like the story behind the ruby glass ones though. -
I don't know Crazy Eddie, but I'm guessing he was like Linda Soundtrak who was an Oklahoma icon in the 80's and was touted as a pioneer in advertising for her annoying ads.

Playing Marbles With Vertebrae Of Sheep
Steph replied to Steph's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Apparently vertebrae and other bones were sometimes called "knucklebones" and they may have been a precursor to our jacks. ... and in Mongolia, anklebones could be flicked like marbles for game play. Maybe "marbles" was used by whoever labeled the photo because he couldn't think of a better term. -

Turkish children playing marbles in Angora with vertebrae of sheep Are you able to see the picture there? Won't open for me. Might not be available online. I googled sheep vertebrae to see if I could visualize how they could be used as marbles. But it's a head scratcher.
