"Ultimate Jerry G" Size: 2.81" Price: SOLD


Every serious O'Grady collector NEEEEEDS to have a Jerry Garcia tribute marble in their collection! This is Kevin's ultimate signature marble, and they are rare as he makes no more than a handful of these each year, and sometimes not even that. This is a super early example of one of these, the earliest I've seen as a matter of fact, and it is huge and STUNNING! It shows the 3D fumed Jerry hand floating in the middle of the vortex, complete with shortened middle finger and a couple of diamonds (opals, and very nice ones) held in the open palm. The vortex is DEEP with Kevin's earliest Dancing Bear murrine at the very bottom of it. The striped patterns on the side are twisted sweetly. There is an as-made flaw in the vortex as seen in the pics - the sparkly gold aventurine color has checked on each stripe from top to bottom. This means there are small cracks in the color as you can see. Some people will not be bothered by this at all and may even see it as an interesting bonus as it's an interesting effect, but others will be bothered by it. This marble would be twice the price without this checking, so if you can live with it, it's an amazing chance at a huge and glorious piece of O'Grady history. The backside is equally awesome, with incredible gold and silver snakeskin fuming, and then a large Jerry Garcia murrine slice right on the bottom. I believe this maybe also be Kevin's earliest Jerry murrine. This is an incredibly historical piece here, a gem for the right collection! It is VERY hard to let go of this one, even with the checking issue.... Signed with Kevin's 2001 signature chip.
