This is another Universe marble from the early days, made in 2003, only the SECOND year that Gateson was marketing this style of marble. This was one of the coolest marbles we'd ever seen at this point in time, with a massive silver vortex behind the opal moon, setting its power off beautifully. It is paired with a wonderfully textured blue planet. It is also unique in the fact that the crescent moon on the backside (added to represent the presence of an opal moon inside) is actually a lunar eclipse! This is a VERY historic marble here, so wonderfully made by the master!
