Lmao my first German ??

[Spn]

I don’t know anything about German marble so it definitely looks damaged to me. I know it no gem and only tiny but you know it my first lol size .53”

[Spn]

Oh no just found my second still only tiny

Stick the first in a glass of water to get a better view of it and maybe a pic

That’s the best I could do

[Spn]

The pictures still terrible 

[Chad G.]

Wow, I thought it would clear up more than that. Nothing on you, the pix agree fine, the marble just has some really weird damage ?

First is likely a divided ribbon core.  Second is a banded (coreless) swirl.

Maybe if it was not so beat up. It looks that beat it as if it was made to look that way.

Thank you Alan

Wow--how do you make a round marble look flat??

There are plenty of "dug" Germans in the market--your first may be one--it does not look like "Play wear" to me.

The second one is --well--pretty nice looking.

Marble--On!!

Yes, both German.  You may have better results if you take the underwater pics looking down (rather than sideways thru the glass, which adds its own distortion).
