Fire1981 Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Crazy 5/8 Call it what you will but there are frit sized pieces of copper under and on the surface glass. I doubt it’s gold 🔥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 That is called gold lutz. Man made glass gold lutz not copper. You can buy it in 5lb, 10lb, and bigger chunks. You can also or could buy it in cube form, about 3/4 inch by 3/4 by one inch. But the bigger chunks work better. Much of the cubes used did not show up. Most times the big chunks are broken up, added to contemporary handmade and machine made marbles,. Sometimes it is heated and pulled or stretched into long strings of glass. To be used later for building a cane type handmade marble. I have broken up a lot of it and used it at Jabo. Also helped Sammy Hogue pull some 6 to 10 feet long, 1/8 inch diameter strings of it, to use in building his handmade marbles. This used as a 50/50 mix with another certain glass, makes excellent Akro oxblood, on machine made marbles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Looks like a Jabo investor run. I'll leave it to the Jabo experts to narrow it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
