@crashbelt @Royal3 @Alta @Chad G. Wow, you've been posting some great marbles since I was last here!

Here's an 11/16" marble I've never seen before. I'm calling it a Caramel Ribbon Swirl with Mica. Caramel Swirls with Mica are a thing, but the ribbons in this one are very similar to what you would find in a clear glass ribbon lutz. No lutz here, unfortunately, but it's a pretty rare find and pretty cool IMO. 

I thought about adding "end of cane" since the ribbons thin out and lose their structure before they reach the faceted pontil. I even considered "end of day" since it's such an oddball - no sense getting carried away though. 😉

Please let me know if you've seen another or think I might be off with my description.

What a dark beauty! “Caramel ribbon swirl with mica” is a mouthful, but I can’t think of a more accurate description, other than “sweet!”

Wow - never seen one like that Ric. Very early period!!

Great to have found a few boxed original Jaques boards with 5/8" onions over the years.

Got mine years ago - they're quite sought after and pricey now!!
