This marble is way...way....WAAAAAAAY better in hand than these pictures are remotely capturing. There is an incredible depth to the design which you simply can't see in 2D, and there are 4, count 'em FOUR, layers of amazing goodness down inside the marble. Such a bummer that I just couldn't capture it in pics, but in hand, you can see it all wonderfully! I've never seen anybody pull off a marble like this, crazy cool design! There is a dichro design later on the bottom, followed by a fumed spiral above that, followed by another dichro design later above that, and finally the fumed honeycomb on top of it all. Mind-boggling to say the least! A fantastic marble to explore. On top of that, the backside colors are just stellar. Trust me, WELL worth the price of admission for this marble!!
