I feel like I say this too much, ha, but it just true, and REALLY true in this case - this amazing marble looks WAAAAY better in hand. You can obviously see the amazing floral elements from the pics, but I feel like the pics make it look messier than the glass actually is in hand, where you don't see that stuff with the naked eye. In hand it's just stunning glass beauty amazingly crafted into spherical form so you can spin it around and around and explore the myriad of incredible features. It's colorful, it's complex, it's wildly detailed, and all together it will amaze you. This is a true gem to behold and hard to let go of!!
