Rylee Burch Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Finally i reach fort worth texas and i go to my guest room in my cousins house who happens to have a pet fish. He is pretty cute but when i look at the bottom i see a whole bunch of random non collectible marbles.. but then i see a blue flame type marble.... i make him take it out...... so i look it over and its a CAC CHRISTENSEN 3 COLOR FLAME!!!! IN A FISH BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was absolutely beautiful!! blue, yellow, and black!! luckily i was able to clean it off and save the poor thing then he told me he found it in his old marble collection he had.... lol thinking it wasnt worth anything...... he was wrong!!!
