OK, so THIS marble you might just want to be veeeeeerrry careful with when you're handling it. It's not going to fall apart or anything like that - however, Nathan carved this one to egg shell thickness (or less) all throughout, and the result is fantastic. It's basically a study in glass and carving, a clear marble that was hollowed out and carved on the surface....but not all the way. The glass destruction is halted in process, and you get to admire the wonder of what is left. For those of you that just absolutely love glass, and all of its delicacy and intricacy, you will love this fascinating piece!!
