Found during excavation.


Recommended Posts

This marble was found in South Central Illinois while excavating an area that may have once been a 19th Century carriage house.  The original owner of the property was a German immigrant and Civil War veteran. Curious as to its origin.

Finding any marble unexpected is a good thing (to me anyway).  Marble looks like a well used Peltier Rainbo.  Production sizes ranged frim under 1/2" to about an inch, so this is at the larger end of the scale, but fairly common.  Probably around 70 years old and made in the good ol' USA.
