What Are The Rarest Marbles?

Recommended Posts

Just remembered - I have a 5/8" marble that is printed on one side "Exposition Chicago 1492 - 1893". It is in a ring and drilled - to make some sort of pendant. The opposite side is a colored view that looks like a gondola scene in Venice. I understand that the Chicago Columbian Exposition had such a lake and simulated view of Venice. So what is it - a souvenir of that Exposition? Who made it in 1893? Or a fantasy?

I have seen lots of memorabilia from the 1893 expo. I have a few coins and pins from it but there are plenty of others as well.
