Cane Cut . . .

[Ric]

slag??? I've never seen another quite like it . . . two pontils, 25/32", very dark purple, but you can get some light through it, very little white in/on it, sorta caramelish or mellonballish or . . . strange. Any thoughts? Thanks.

P.S. That is not damage in the lower left shot . . . it's as-made . . . thin white glass.

I was thinking Navarre too, before I picked it up and found two pontils. But I think Navarre are hand gathered, with a single pontil. I think this one is cane cut . . . maybe it's just a "Jaw Breaker", and the uncommon purple color distracted me from that possibility.

Looks like a cane cut slag to me.

I didn't know there were such beasts . . . sorta just called it like I saw it. I've never seen another so I'm guessing they're not real common. Anyone else have examples?

two pontils is a pretty good indication of a cane cut marble. You see less "slags" than the more traditional handmade "core" swirls, but they are out there. I've posted some pics before if I can find them

Here you can see some slags with 2 pontils.
