budwas Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 This marble is 5/8", it has a smooth, melted pontil on one tip of the white swerl and a rough pontil on the other end. It's amber with white swerl about 1/16" under the surface. The surface is wavy. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdNargel Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I believe those are called Cornhusks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Neat! You don't see those often. Well, I don't anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Cornhusk. I like 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinron110 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hard to find these cornhusks in mint condition the glass seems to be a bit on the softer side like the indians. I really like my one example and will probably never sell or trade it. I acquired it from a great marble friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budwas Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Thanks to everyone of you for all the help. I'm enjoying this very much. I wonder how you all can so patiently deal with uneducated newbies like me. Thanks again Bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockinron110 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I think I had a chance to purchase that Cane at one of the shows. With what they sold for I was a fool to pass the cane up for 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
