Ric Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 3/4" and spherical - I'd call it a marble. The photo is a little blurry so it's hard for me to tell whether it's stoneware or an actual stone. My guess is the former. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo is not that sharp so it's kind of hard to tell what's going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling this has a more industrial application, maybe a mill ball, and the shape is meant to facilitate it function, whatever it might be. I could imagine it as part of a ball valve of some sort too. It's definitely not a marble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
