Melissa Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 This one came in a lot of European marbles. Is it European though? The seams are very unusual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 I would have guessed Asian, and Asian marbles were imported to Europe. So that's probably still my guess. It doesn't look Japanese, but I'm wondering if it could be a Hong Kong marble. Without remembering any details of what I saw, I remember that I had the _impression_ that the early Hong Kong marbles could be somewhat amorphous. *open to education on this one* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 I agree with Steph. It doesn't impress me as European either, and I'm thinking it may be Asian too. I think those gnarly cut-offs resulted because the glass was too cool and viscous when it was sheared and they remind me a little of the single cut-off you see on some Japanese transitionals, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility that it is an early Japanese Cat's Eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
