akroorka Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 This is the “wet-ist” marble that I have ever come across. ¾”. No distinct cutoff marks and very--very slightly out of round. It looks like a slag but deep inside it has a purplish color involved. I cannot touch it without leaving a fingerprint, I really mean this---super smooth—super wet. I cannot “shoot it” without a reflection. It is very heavy and very smooth for it’s size, no defects. Very well made and I doubt that it is handmade, a one-off or a contemporary torch made marble. Odd as heck and a joy to handle, a drag to polish and get an image of. Give me your best--- Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I think you'll be lucky to get a good ID on this one, Art. It's kinda amorphous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Shrug! I'd nickname it a green ghost and give it its own special case. Maybe the intrepid @Steph can intuit its origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I certainly don't have the intrepidity it's going to take . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 At 3/4", shiny, and amorphous, isn't Jabo an obvious first choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I feel like I must have missed something. But I've been feeling like that all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what I missed . . . reading Art's description to see that it's 3/4". I've sorta had one of those days too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted January 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I will admit that I had to look up "amorphous". I can roll with Jabo. Thanks all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
