"Flowering Heights" Size: 1.53" Price: SOLD

Aki is a master of all glass types now. He started with the super soft Japanese satake glass in which he became a master, then perfected working with the very hard borosilicate glass, and now he has moved on to regular soft glass, the type that paperweight makers use to encase glass flowers and other things with crystal clear glass. This marble is just that - a super detailed flower, with little flower buds and all, which is encased in crystal clear Schott glass to give us a stunning 3-dimensional flower. It is nature's perfection, preserved for all of time. The marble looks much better in hand with normal lighting and not against a dark background like this. Only a few marbles have been made in this style and this is the last one I have, so don't miss your chance to own one of these!
