	Hello all, I finally was able to track someone down and get one of my marbles restored. I know a lot of you are against this but this marble had so much inner beauty that it needed to be shown off. I was searching youtube one day and found a guy who is still fixing up old marbles so I reached out to him. I could not be happier, The marble is BEAUTIFUL here are some photos below of the before and after and I have also added a link to video of the process that was used. https://youtu.be/ds5486QXPYk Before After

	  Open Core Latticno, Would You Polish It?crowncarrier replied to oldmarblenut's topic in Restoration Q & A I'm thinking of doing it with the big one in this photo. This one will look beautiful once it's done. Or should I leave it alone. My issue is there is so much beauty hidden in this one.

	Are there any clear marbles one should keep an eye out for. Are there specific colours or sizes. I remember when i was a kid the cherry/ruby reds were the ones to look for followed by an odd aqua blue colour and the brown root beer ones. Here is a photo of what I have, let me know if there is anything special.
