lstmmrbls Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 The marble companies in that time period made their own glass. It is that plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I also long wondered why they were misspelled in several marble books as "Persion". Who was the original book writer who goofed up? Sorry folks, ex-teachers never quit using the red pen. FYI -- I can't remember which book I saw it in (unfortunately I've never seen a box of Persian Turquoise in person) -- might have been Block's on MFC / Christensen -- but I've seen a photo of an MFC box on which the word "Persian" was misspelled "Persion." I think that's where the original error occurred, and others, maybe even in an effort to be "accurate," persisted in sometimes using the term . . .

BuckEye Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I went down and visited Brian last month or so and he was gracious enough to show me around his gallery and workshop. I learned more in two hours than I did in two years about marbles regarding colors, construction, and chemistry, for which I am grateful. This isn't a homage to him, just a thanks for passing on his knowledge. That's the key. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
