Rose Roads and Gateson Recko: "East Meets West Two" Size: 2.02" Price: SOLD

What happens when Japan's glass dot king meets the world's best space marble artist?!? THIS bad boy happens, wooohooo!! This marble features one of Gateson's famous Empyrean Spheres with a Rose Roads disc hovering out in space there somewhere. "It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's a Rose Roads UFO landing in Empyrean space!!" Yesssss!!!

Again, we've got gajillions of dots in the Rose Roads inclusion, and the glass control that is featured here is simply mind-boggling, really almost too much for the average mind to handle. Mind, meet blown gasket!! It takes Rose a complete day to make one of these discs, painstakingly laying on dot after tiny dot, in patterns so precise that it would appear a machine made it. How do you say machine in Japanese? That should really be Junichi Kojima's nickname, not Rose Roads, ha ha.

Gateson then took this amazing disc, errr, flying saucer of glass goodness, and worked it into his Empyrean design. The colors in this Empyrean Sphere are some of the brightest and nicest I have ever seen, and just take a look at that featured planet - WOW!!! Super nice planet, one of Gateson's best. It's only appropriate, the best for the best. A truly magical space marble, don't miss out on this one!
