Hunter67 Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I found this large marble with a elephant inside I would say its very old it has a few chips and is approx 2 inches across it has a light pink color to it . Any info on age and value would be great ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Oh gosh ... @BobBlock ... are you in the neighborhood? Could be from the1800's, but I don't have a clue on value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter67 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I’m in Victoria BC and the marble looks very old . It came out of a second hand store here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm not an expert, but years ago I remember someone saying the pinkish color is caused by light exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Per Stan Block's Sulphide book - 2 inch range for elephant in good to near mint condition is $50 to $150 value - probably closer to the $50 based on damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBlock Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Value is going to depend on whether it is less than 2" or more than 2". About 2" doesn't help too much. Over 2" would add about 20% to the value. The figure detail in this one is above average, although it is set off-center and there is a shallow air bubble at the trunk. I don't see a lot of damage on it, but the images are blurry. I think Al's price assessment is a little low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
