Gateson Recko and Josh Sable: "Opal Islands" Size: 1.28" Price: SOLD

These Recko/Sable collaborations represent the absolute pinnacle in American flameworking, bringing together two of the best marble artists that the world has to offer - the Two Great Ones. These happened when Josh took a rare trip to Albuquerque, NM to visit Gateson, and they spent a week on the torch together creating some of the most amazing marbles the world has ever seen. A unique combination of their two styles, these marbles showcase what each artist has accomplished over their illustrious careers, bringing together Gateson's reflections on space with Josh's mastery of the retticello, wigwags and millie snaps. It's quite possible this will be the only time this happens, and these marbles are now rare as rare can be, and highly sought after by the best of collections. Masterful collaborations by two well-established masters, who, when all is said and done, will be looked on as two of the greatest artists of the new contemporary marble movement. These marbles represent your chance to own a special piece of marble history, as exciting and inspired as these things come.

I will mourn the passing on of this marble, leaving me without its beauty to enjoy any longer, ha ha. This one is a STUNNER!!! Using Gateson's Empyrean Sphere style, Gateson and Josh LOADED this one up with a fancy orange/yellow planet, 4 different square opals, and a BUNCH of Josh's different and finest millies!! Wow, so much going on, SO much to see - this is a true jewel of a marble if there ever was one! I truly LOVE this marble, utterly fantastic, so spacey, featuring the best of what these two masters have to offer!
