Fire1981 Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 After looking at the pics some more I think it’s not Foreign. Seedy to me means just a cheaper produced marble with crude features and weird surface textures. This one has more definition in the color combo that makes me think Master. I was wrong about the seedy side here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Most glass workers in WV refer to seedy glass when the glass has gas bubbles and sometimes off color a little. It is when the glass is not cooked proper. The old story of adding a potato or potatoes to the furnace to clean the glass up. It did work. Many things can cause the bubbles. The furnace exit gas is important. Temperature and time is important. Different glass reacts differently. The marble may be a French sparkler.

I'llhavethat1 Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 The pictures make it look a bit out of round, almost as if hand polished or rock tumbler. Might be what's throwing things off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Rock tumblers destroy glass marbles. Even with walnut hulls or plastic beads. The marbles eventually crash together, with enough of that and they are shards and dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 If the slurry is thick enough they won't "crash" together, but I agree that a rock tumbler is NOT a way to treat a marble. Tommy, I'm still curious in hand does this marble look spherical with original surface? My eyes aren't getting any younger and it could just be the photo's/reflections playing tricks with me.

I believe so. the inside matrix is off to one side makes the pictures look funny . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
