Jahfree Marbles For Sale


Jahfree, aka Jahfree Emerick Franklin, is a young and talented glass artist whose marbles got more impressive and epic every time I saw them. Sadly, as I update his bio here in 2020, we haven't seen new marbles from Jahfree in many years and I'm assuming we won't see them again. Jahfree was one of those super bright flames in the glass world who shone fiercely bright for a short time....and then was gone WAY too fast. He truly made some of the most creative and fantastic marbles ever and I wish we had a lot more of them than the small number we do. Suffice it to say that his work will be HIGHLY collectible as time marches on here. He made large beautiful marbles that I considered masterpieces early on, and they are truly amazing. Some of his most fantastic creations are from his 'Surprise Inside' series, many of which require good light to look down inside the middle of the marbles where you discover wonderful treasures hidden within as you become a marbleous explorer.

This is an artist you'll want to collect as often as possible, as his work will become more and more scarce as time goes on, and these early masterpieces will be highly sought after. From the beginning, I knew Jahfree as 'the opal guy', as he always managed to acquire THE BEST opals you will ever find. I was astounded at his opals, long before the rest of the world was able to acquire such beautiful opals, as he had a special source which allowed him to amaze us more and more as time went on. Jahfree also loved to use lots of my absolute favorite glass in the world - Draconis. Draconis Glass was made some years ago by a small company which produced this amazingly beautiful glass which has a truly satin-like quality to it, comprised of tiny, tiny grains of sparkle all blended together. It looks so smooth and silky that it's hard to believe it's glass. It's impossible to find any more, and for at least the moment, the recipe has been lost since the creator of this glass passed away a couple years back. Thankfully Jahfree had a nice stash of it, and you'll see this gorgeous glass throughout his work.

Get this wonderful artist into your collection!
