There is no oxblood here and this marble is not buffed/polished IMHO. Also, the seller is a highly respected member of the marble community who has written academic tutorials on how to detect buffed/polished marbles, as well as the scientific properties of oxblood glass. If it was buffed/polished he would recognize and acknowledge it I'm sure. He is meticulous with his inspection and descriptions of his marbles up for sale. This is a rare color combo for a Popeye ( how many of you have one?) - but I am surprised at the final hammer myself.
