Marian Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Curious if this may have been a pontil on this marble? It is definitely chipped 😢 but for my own learning, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 No pontil. Pontils are for handmades (or transitionals).  This marble is machine-made.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 yeah ... something like that ... not always sure about the big areas ... maybe something got stuck in manufacturing and then broke off in a big way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 A real pontil is almost  always above the surface of the surrounding areas most chips and damage are below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
