Thank you, both!

Here's another one:

Just picked up a small batch of this style last weekend, all around .59-.63 inches.

the way the band fractures into whispy filaments seems to be a telltale sign of vitro. Is that pretty accurate or a common trait among other manufacturers, too?

gorgeous, the bubbling on this one makes the marble look wet

I love it!

I love the angle on this cut

I agree, cool topic. Paperweights are what brought me to the marble forum. My grandma I inherited glass marbles from mainly collected paperweights. According to the description in that link, that item isn't even a paperweight, although it does feature the aforementioned millefiori. It looks like it was originally a finial for a lamp or staircase.

I love the little tadpole!

I'm trying to get my fundamentals down before I jump into buying rarities off eBay, lol. I do love these conquerors though, especially when they get whispy and delicate

I believe these are all conquerors with maybe some phantom conquerors in there, too. Mostly just wanted to show off this nifty new display stand I got in the mail today.

I just ordered this one off amazon today for $9. It was delivered within a few hours. It's digital, has plastic "teeth", reads out in inches or mm. It comes with a free plastic case and two extra batteries. Very simple to operate. I know some don't like the inches in digital form but it's a very easy math conversion to sixteenths of an inch! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZNQRB39/

It's gorgeous

Thanks for the excellent info

This seems like a flattened out caged catseye to my highly uneducated eye, with this patch inside that looks like a christmas tree. There were two other similarly deformed caged catseyes in this batch, without any aventurine inside. 5/8"
