jten Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Found these while going thru a gallon of cateyes my mother gave me. must have been made for decorative use or I need to start rotating them to keep them from going flat. Any info. on who made them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 They're kinda cool, and my first take is that they look like they are not American made, and I think they are usually referred to as "gems". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 As Ric said they are referred to as gems or marble flats. They are made this way as standard production. They are made with machine rolls much shorter than normal marble machine rolls. Normal roll lengths may be eight feet. The gems or flats only require rolls of eight to twelve or sixteen inches long. Many different companies all over made gems or flats. The gems or flats are used for decoration, crafts, flower arrangements, fish tanks, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
