Parmcat Posted Thursday at 06:57 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:57 PM I'm not even sure it's a marble. In a lot I bought, there were 3 "marbles" like this. Possible a contemporary marble, but maybe an agate if some sort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duotone Posted Thursday at 07:23 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:23 PM Agree that it's a natural stone sphere, not a marble. Looks like Tiger's Eye. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meep Posted Thursday at 09:06 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:06 PM It's a banded iron formation (BIF) stone sphere. Tiger's eye would only have yellow bands that are chatoyant. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted Friday at 09:07 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:07 PM This one would have been a good contender in the "Oxblood August" post. When holding these mineral spheres/marbles you can just feel the coldness in hand. (Spheres are any round thing over 2 inches) Glass warms up quickly--mineral spheres do not. Just an observation on my part. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
