"Cremstatkon" Size: 1.61" Price: SOLD

These new marbles from James are A-MAZING!! They are incredible in hand, as you can see the depth of the surface layers around these planet-style marbles, with raised orbits, floating sky-millie, fumed dots, etc. These are some of my favorite marbles ever, thanks in part to how masterfully clean and tight James' work is, while abstract at the same time. James adds layers of clear to these marbles using a special technique he has perfected, and it is seamless and crystalline. The colors are very earthy, yet majestic. The gold-fumed dots are all like little mirrors when you get them angled at the light properly, and you can see that bright reflection in some of the pics. You can tell the depth is there by checking out the shadows on the surface of the marble from the various elements floating above. You really need to experience one or more of these!

This marble has that extra earthy feel to it, smooth yet textured at the same time. I've never seen glass quite this color, some sort of combination of fuming and some other silver-based color I am assuming. Excellent orbital qualities with this one. Gorgeous!!
