Yoshinori Kondo and Rose Roads: "Starship Didymium" Size: 2.12" Price: SOLD

Words cannot describe or express.....but I'll try. These collabs between Yoshi and Rose are about as rare - and majestic - as they come. The pattern and detail in Rose's dotted retticello is...sorry, there aren't any words for it. The precision, detail, and sheer time involved in Rose's work just blows the mind. Yoshi took Rose's half and wrapped his design completely around it, and it is one of Yoshi's greatest designs ever. SO much to like, but my favorite might be how the dots turn into layered hearts on the opal side. There is depth upon depth in this marble. And then that opal, good gosh - I defy you to find a color of the rainbow not represented in there, a true marvel in and of itself.

This is one of the greatest marble masterpieces of all time. There will be one lucky, ecstatic owner. This marble is as large as I've ever seen Yoshi go, and it's the size that makes it a true centerpiece for any collection. Stunning is simply an understatement.
