Steph Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Looks kind of like fire-pocked glass from here. What do you think it's made of? I can't think of what kind of marble it could be other than a damaged game marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 It feels a bit waxy to the touch, but definitely isn't wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 That's what I see aswell,a damaged game marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 It doesn't seem damaged, I think the shaping is because it might be hand made, but I am certainly thinking that it may not be a marble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 There are old hand-gathered game-type marbles. Maybe "worn" rather than damaged? Weathered, even? Like maybe it was buried for a while? Size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 You could say worn. It measures 5/8" one way and 9/16" the other because the one end (pic 2) is kinda flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sclsu Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 The more I feel it, the texture is a little bit like a brick style marble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Looks very much like a marble that has been in a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm calling it a lemonball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'm calling it a lemonball. I like it. A lemon drop would be good too, cause it kinda looks like the candy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Have you held it up to a strong source of light? Some hand gathered 'opaques' allow a bit of light through and give a clue from what's inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
