"Jerry Garcia Tribute" Size: 2.48" Price: SOLD

OK folks, this is the marble you are looking for!! This is one of THE marbles that are sought after by boro collectors, Kevin's most famous and rare creations. They are as valuable as any marble you will find in the contemporary art glass marble world. And this one I have to sell is a super nice example - I almost kept it, was that close, but I've already got one of Kevin's older Garcia Tributes. Kevin just made it so it has his new 2009 sig chip in it. It also has his brand new 'Steal Your Face' murrine down in the bottom of it, the first Tribute marble like this made, as well as little chips of the murrine on the backside. It is a REEEEALLY cool murrine, very nicely done. It has the traditional fumed hand in the lens, with Garcia's shortened middle finger, and then it has FOUR opal chunks in the hand, including one nice big one. I've never seen that many used. The hand is formed REALLY nicely. The vortex behind it is made up of wavy gold and silver fuming, all different colors, really incredible. Sunk into the inside walls of the vortex are 4 of the Dancing Bear murrine, and then there are also some chips of this on the backside as well, next to yin-yang millis. Finally, in the middle of the backside is a very large Jerry Garcia murrine, the biggest chunk I've seen Kevin use. It's an ASTOUNDING marble, one of the sweetest, coolest, uber awesomest marbles EVER. You will NOT want to let this one get away, truly truly a master work of marble art for the ages!!!

By the way, as nice as these pictures might look, it looks soooooooooooooo much better in hand! The depth that Kevin gets is astounding. Just an amazing marble to explore. You can display it 10 different ways!
