akroorka Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 @bumblebeeThis is a callout to Bumblebee—long time no-see!! I think that this one may be an original stone Oxblood. It is just a hair under 1 ½”---a flawless---beautiful orb. You are the go-to here soooooo??? Marble—On!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for thinking of me as a go-to but I stumble around in the mists of time as much as the next collector. 😉 Gorgeous agate with all those tightlines and sharp angles but how far back does your definition of "original" go? Machine ground, yes? At that unusually large size with that type of pattern, methinks it could be more baby boomer or newer. I've misplaced my agate book so maybe @hdesousa can chime in. Pattern reminds me of what often is called "mad river agate" or Madagascar jasper often seen on eBay in that similar size: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bee, By original I mean from the earth itself. I know that it is a newer model but it reminded me so much of glass oxblood that I had to have it. Marble--On!!

I wasn't sure if you meant there was a stone Oxblood glass. 😁 Original of course would be actual ox blood (not googling that!) Speaking of agates, there are some quite nice ones if you search eBay for "agate sphere" instead of "agate marble"...sometimes they can be had for a song, although quality in terms of flaws and polish varies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
