"Heaven's Pathways" Size: 1.84" Price: SOLD


If you collect Simpson planets, then THIS is one of those that you want. The hardcore Simpson collectors know that the best planets to get are actually those that are unsigned. That's because we know that these marbles are both early - created in the 80's or very early 90's - and they were most likely made by Simpson's hands himself, before Josh became uber-famous and hired a team of glassblowers to help him with the demand for his work. On top of that, I find that these early planets are the most interesting planets also, with neat land masses and fascinating things happening in the glass. This planet is exactly that, with gorgeous glass flowing in the land masses, and then dichro strips on both the surface of the planet, and up in the atmosphere trailing the satellite. The details of this gem are just AMAZING and so fascinating, and this one is really hard to let go of. The milli details are placed sparingly except for the Blue City that you see. Glass like this is so wonderful to see, highlighting the texture, color and flow. The earthy tones of this one are really pronounced and intriguing. A wonderful gem for any Simpson collection!
