"Pulled Dot Turbine" Size: 1.26" Price: SOLD

This marble will be featured in Mark Block's upcoming marble book.

This is really a fascinating marble, different than anything else you've ever seen most likely. It is made of boro and done in an imploded flower style. Aki painstakingly applied hundreds of tiny dots of glass in between black and white vanes, and then imploded the whole thing to give us this amazing design. The imploded dots of glass are commonly reffered to as 'pulled dots'. Sweet and unusual marble!
