boris64 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 And in good shape... is that a pontil or a cut crease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghMarbles Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 That’s a nice MFC, that cut line is indicative of MFC slags. It’s where the cutting shears cut the marble when it was still pretty molten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 I just love these big MFC slags and can never see enough of them---they do come bigger. What size is yours? I sold a big one years ago and have regretted it ever since. Love it--Lets see some more of these👀. Great find!!! These are rare--hold on to it, or regret it IMHO. Marble--On!!

I'llhavethat1 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Not a pontil, likely MFC, and most of the big ones top out around 1-1/4". There are some way bigger ones but not seen too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris64 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 That one is a inch and 3/8 the only way I will give it up is to one of my grandkids.....I never say no to dogs or grandkids 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 I always say no to my dogs when I drop a marble--they are always right on it🦴. 😁Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris64 Posted December 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Got some red ones also.... one looks like a cool cork but it has a pontil ... so it’s probably a transition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
