JVVmarbles Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I thought this might be fun...post a pic of the rarest marble (handmade or machine) in your collection, those unique marbles you only find once in a lifetime. Here's mine, a LARGE 1-3/8" beachball Indian Lutz. I've never seen one like it. I'm looking forward to seeing all your RARE beauties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleus1 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 That marble is so far past rare. I,m going with unique till I see another. Damn it man David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Opp Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I have a 3/4" Akro oxblood and light brown patch. I've not seen too many others, but I don't think the marble is rare, but it is possibly the rarest marble in my small collection. It is in collectible condition with lots of wear and bites.

Northern Lights Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Here are some of the rarest marbles in my collection. As mentioned above - they might not be rare in the real world but they are rare in my part of the world and in my collection. Hope you enjoy them. You may have seen one or two posted before. There is a Christensen Agate Multi Color Swirl, a Leighton (ID by Mr. Block), a Christensen Brick. and an old Vitro Parrot, Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVVmarbles Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 That marble is so far past rare. I,m going with unique till I see another. Damn it man David It's a cane cut marble, so there must be more of them out there (if any others 'survived' ofcourse'!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvdv Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 It's a cane cut marble, so there must be more of them out there (if any others 'survived' ofcourse'!). There's at least one more that "survived", I've seen one in Lauscha, but the condition of that one was poor, your's is much better. C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 It's not colorful, but quite unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVVmarbles Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Here's another really rare one, a large 1-5/8" Uranium based glass marble with a brightly colored band on it. A pic without and with blacklight (Uranium glass glows brightly green under a blacklight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marblemansion Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I dunno - I have only seen about 5 of these - and none of the others were as as nice condition as this one....maybe everyone has a Peltier Pearlized Patch in their collection.

marboman Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I can't think of a marble that would be the rarest in my collection,but I do have a rare marble realated item.From what I understand only one hundred were made.It's in mint condition.Got it at a rock and bottle show.

clydetul62 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Nice book. Is yours a later version. Mine is signed but the pics arent in color. These goes very high, anywhere 200-400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydetul62 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Very hard to pick one. For my CAC's I would say my 7/8 six color flame and the purple sub. For Pelt's I have to go for the 7/8" greycoat, 7/8" flaming dragon w/ aventurine, a clear zebra, A green lantern, and a green/black (green hornet). I am still looking for the hornet. Even though the last isnt a handmade its still related. A birdcage paperweight that says China on bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
