Yoshinori Kondo & Kenan Tiemeyer: "Cosmic Cohabitation" Size: 3.25" Price: SOLD

There are only a few of these collabs in the world, and THIS is a marble that you HAVE to see in hand to believe! It is massively huge, and for some reason seems even bigger than the 3 1/4" that I measured it at. The layers upon layers of opals, dichro and fuming which Kenan incorporated around Yoshi's disc are mesmerizing! Not much needs to be said about Yoshi's massive dot stack disc - impeccably clean work as always, with fascinating patterns that tantalize the senses. The fumed colors that Kenan achieved are wonderful, and I particularly like the sort of mint green effect that is going on in there.

This incredible collab is chock full of opals, and every new twist and turn of the marble gives you another glint of striking goodness, ELEVEN opals all told. The Yoshi side has 7 opals, an arrangement with a disc in the center and then 3 white crescent moons and 3 black marquis' around it. The Kenan side has 4 more opals, with a brilliant disc in the middle and 3 white marquis' around that.

There is just SO much going on inside of this marble, and any 2D experience presented will never be adequate. It must be held and studied to be fully appreciated. This is one for the ages from the East and the West, two of the world's foremost marble masters!!!
