bumblebee Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago That's a real agate mineral marble. The half-moon marks are hits called moons. Looks like there might be a deeper internal fracture too. The German-made ones will have small flat faceted areas all over the surface which can be hard to see with the naked eye sometimes, but under very bright light the faceting can be seen, but a loupe may be required. If it's later then it would be ground by machine and not show any facets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago It has every appearance of being an agate. Surface and subsurface damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were also made in California---LA--in the good ole USA. I love to backlight this type---just me maybe----not! Research these a bit more and find out how they were made. You will be hooked for sure. These marbles took a beating and kept on cooking. Here is one with backlight Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
