I'llhavethat1 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Did the lightning bolt marbles have faceted pontils? (don't have one and haven't seen one that close) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I will ever run across one but you just never know. So if they don't have faced pontils what do they have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Here's the pontil of a lightning bolt. It looks rough. I don't know the terminology for pontils. Is this "ground"? I don't know. I really need to learn that. I think that's a Morphy auction photo. I found it listed here: http://www.icollector.com/Red-Green-Lightning-Bolt-Marble_i8466237 (You can see more views at that link.)

budwas Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Ahhh, a ground pontil! Thank you very much Steph and thanks for the link. I looked several places but not much on lightning strike marbles. That's a very good picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
