I really like Vitros. The Aquamarines (first marble) are very nice marbles and I think your second one is great too.

I just opened a door onto a new area of collection I never thought much about before. 

Hubby is going to be thrilled.  

I'm  always looking for glass beads when I'm  out shopping . 

Glass beads would be a great place to start. Just about any glass blower can pump these Morsels Out.   But who?♥️

If these were glass, what would you call them?

They're chocolates.  But now they make me want to own pieces of glass that look like them and  I don't know what to search for.

I hope the pictures are clear enough to see the difference. I would recommend this process to anyone who the time. Especially those marbles that just need a little help. Extra attention to rinsing B4 3hr. Mineral oil bath. Thank you all for following this Thread. ♥️

After 72hrs. a rinse and three 3hr. MINERAL WASH ,vary  happy with the Results.

It's crazy how tiny those facets can be on the best examples.

Absolutely I understand they can be very small , I was told the smaller the facet was the best quality.

I agree with Steph that there is a very good chance that agate is German. The way I check for hand-faceting is to shine a bright light on the marble and look at the small reflection it makes, i.e., the little dot of bright light on the surface of the marble. Then rotate the marble slowly and see if the that little bright spot jumps around or moves smoothly across the surface of the mib. The light spot will appear to wiggle around if the marble is hand-faceted. For comparison, you can do the same using a machine-made glass marble and you will see how the reflection moves smoothly if there are no facets.

Thank you, I will have to check the last I get I posted with the loop the first one does it appear to have facets many of them.
