"Roto-Gem" Size: 1.26" x 1.95" Price: SOLD


Those in the top world will know that Rich has now started making a line of spinning glass tops to go with his marbles and pendants, but this might be something new for those who aren't familiar with spinning tops. Rich fashions each of these whirling gems out of hot molten glass in the flame, with his signature styles imploded inside, and let me tell you - they...are....AWESOME! Each one has a different color scheme as they spin at speeds which blur the colors into smooth lines of rapid motion. As usual with Rich's attention to intricate detail, he works hard to make sure these all spin as well as possible for glass tops (but not as smooth as precision machined metal tops of course). They are a blast to play with, and incredibly beautiful while spinning...or while just sitting there! This gem has a super sweet imploded design inside of it, with a lined glass pod on top, and then it also has a bright blinging opal in the stem which is awesome to watch spin, or to just slowly observe in hand. Love it! Each top comes tucked in foam in its own treasure box, the one pictured below is the one you will receive. The top is signed 'RC II 5/18' in ti pen on the bottom.
