German Machine Made

I've recently placed this marble on eBay, and to my surprise I've receive A LOT of attention from it... I also placed a similar blue one that doesn't have even one person watching. So what I'm wondering, is the red a little harder to come by??

How many colors on this one? Looks like a lot of shades in the photos.

Its a transparent red with white stripes.... The light coming in throught the red makes it look like multiple shades I suppose. Also some of the white blended with the red to make an orangy color on the poles.

It looks great in the photos!

Is the red harder to come by or people are seeing a multi color marble instead of a two color ? A buyer may be expecting multiple shades as the picture shows. The picture should reflect the true marble not extra colors.

What you see in the picture is exactly how the marble looks. It's not backlit, but does have two lights focused on it for the photo. However, it does look like two shades of red in hand. But when backlit one can see that it is just the darkening of the transparent red from the white striping on the outer surface. But, like I said, not trying to con anyone here, and whoever buys it will not be disappointed, it's colors are true in the photos. If for some reason they don't like it, I always accept returns, no questions asked.

Thanks everyone for the input. It's a real pretty marble!

Red is harder to come by. And often sell for a nice premium.

I like pictures not so close and with out all the bright lights the two big spots so close might make every thing look diferent ? I think this is almost the same ? Mike

The photo definitely looks like a golden brown, red, white and blue and black marble. Is it really only red and white?
