This contemporary handmade marble measures 3/4". It was handmade in 2009 by Marble Artist, Carl Fisher. It is made out of polymer clay and no paint is used in the process. The clay itself was artistically blended to form a colorful pattern reminiscent of a rare Peltier Blue Tiger with dark blue aventurine stripes over a rich orange base. This marble is lighter than a glass marble and softer to the touch. This marble would make a great placeholder until a real one comes along. It is also initialed in gold under the glaze with the Carl Fisher CF logo design. It is extremely durable and will not chip, crack, scratch or break. Each marble that Fisher makes is a tiny individual work of art. See photos above, check our feedback from happy customers, and bid with confidence!
