great information thanks everyone!

Nothing in the description lends itself to pontils, or antique, and the mica looks new - not old.

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-1-8-GREEN-BLIZZARD-MICA-NM-/250658240699?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Marbles&hash=item3a5c6538bb don't understand why its worth over $500 for - it doesn't look vintage to me any thoughts?

So you are just re-heating or torching them to molten again and then working them round and smooth - what do you do? Pick them up on a punt and reshape them - then cut the punt and metl the pontil? am I close?

NEVER MIND! :computer-17: fricken EBAY!

MAN did that go cheap! only $20 !!!! Holy cow ! Am I crazy?

Mint? - prepare to pay through the nose baby - ain't many around and when they show up - there is always a hoard of folks bidding on them. Maybe some friends of yours will swing a trade for a mint one.

so what do you call the ones that have a clear glass base with color patches over the clear? Are those a "tigers eye" too?

Okay - yep - so another question - When the artist makes a marble like this is there clear glass on the outer surface covering the colored ribbons???

I have one at auction right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/Peltier-Red-Zebra-hard-find-/230491942877?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Marbles&hash=item35aa63efdd probably not minty enough - it does has some play time on it but not bad.

thanks!

I doubt if its rust - glass would not have iron imbedded in it to rust - but maybe it has some rust on the surface that should be removable with some light grit cleaner or a green scotch brite pad.

I have had someone present a question to me on my auction of the Jody Fine marbles - stating they think the marbles have been polished due to the open ends. I sent back the facts stating that these have been in my collection for the last ten years and we bought them directly from Jody Fine when we were running Marble Mansion. I looked on Glasswurx - he shows similar open ends on Jody's marbles even as late as 2007. Just wondering if anyone else can confirm for me? Thanks.

Of course - ahem - its for sale.
