I've got one of these special marbles in my collection, and I remember being soooo excited when I got it from Chris back in 2003. It features an actual Herkimer diamond inside of it, and what makes it extra special is that Chris actually mined this diamond himself from the hills around New York where he lives. I love that!! These are the only marbles I know of with inclusions inside mined by the artist. The other side features a rocky type of landscape. There are two tiny flea bite dings on this one so I have marked the price down 50%, but they're VERY hard to see. I couldn't capture one of them, on the equator and too small, but I did capture the other one in the last pic, up near the top of the lens on the right, that little shiny spot. It only shows up at the right angle with bright light. GREAT marble regardless and a sweet addition to any collection! Signed 'Pan 02'.
