LevvyPoole Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 This one came with the other 2 that I put up yesterday. I'm pretty sure I can see a pontil ... clear turquoise glass, tiny bubbles, the white doesn't really extend far beneath the surface. 19/32 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really nice marble that I could never ID. I have seen these before in hand--very cool! @cheese will be coming out with a book describing WVS very soon. He had a lot of help but this one( the book) is worth waiting for. I just hope that this one is included. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 No pontil. Its a machine made. Try to not see glass defects as a "pontil". Look at the whole marble. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, thought I had it that time as it is such a perfectly circular mark. Thanks, there's so much to consider though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
