You posted some really interesting examples, Rick - lefties, super tight polar twists, etc. But this is the one that piques my interest - a very cool marble IMO.

One of my favorite stone marbles - its 1-1/4" and full of colors, an outstanding example IMO. It seems likely that it was made on a water-driven marble mill somewhere in Germany and may have been referred to as a Jasper at the time.

It also seems that the American Marble & Toy Company may have been trying to imitate these. Here it sits with three of their ceramic marbles.
