DINDO Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Did any companies make marbles out of marble ? Would they still be considered marbles or mineral spheres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Short answer: yes If they were made for playing -- and many were -- then they're marbles. The farther we get away from them being used as toys, the closer we get to calling them "mineral spheres". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Supposedly these are for real marble marbles: The ones with the red vanes are called "blood allies". Back in the 1800's those were prized. I don't think a company can be pinned down for actual marble marbles. Other stones have been used for playing marbles. The California Agate Company made marbles from Mexican onyx in the 1920's and 1930's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
