Caged solid core IMO, i can't see any separation in the wide and thin ribbons in the cores, if there is it's a tri level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 This was sold for over 5,000 dollars. I guess the experts know why? Green Mica Sulfide? Haven't seen any like this. Not mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not mine. Any Sulphide in glass other than transparent clear is going to fetch a good price, the same with any figures that are painted, even if the glass is transparent clear. There are also some rare figures, mostly busts of humans and a double or 2. Most of the double's are fakes though, you better know what you're looking at. The so called (California Sulphide's) had a lot of doubles that fooled a lot of collectors for a long time. Do a little googling you'll find them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sulfide (as above) with green glass was hammered at auction for $3000... insane! But it is pleasant and tranquilizer if you can see it as an investment, and I think these are. Obviously, with these prized marbles, there could be an equally high risk of replication, and here, you need to be cautious when purchasing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, but this marble is curious, as it has been transformed/distorted by the former marble worker 'Rich Shelby' 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mica is generally a larger version of the flakes. This is no rule though--some of the gold Mica can be quite tiny--and sparkly. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mica is a mineral that was used, and is still used today, for its shiny and reflective properties. Especially in ancient times, it was included in marbles to create a shiny and bright effect You can find it in clear transparent marbles, in various shades of blue (aquamarine, cobalt, etc.), in green, amber, and more rarely in yellow and red. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big is it? 0,787+ (20mm+) Yes, it's amazing This marble is of an intense color, like the tip of a reed, and it seems to have been the last one made on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
