This is one of my favorite marbles by Nate to date, because it has it all - killer fuming with a sweet slice, a blinging opal, and then a really wonderful backside with one of my favorite ruby colors! Look closely at the fuming and the tubes Nate was able to create - they are a true glass wonder to behold! And of course, this is only possible by going the extra mile and making an implosion, and then cutting it in half before incorporating it into this marble. There's a TON of work in this beauty in order to bring it into existence! Signed 'NS 2013'.
