Here's a wild creation from Ro that is SO cool and SO unique and SO rare. Ro made this one back in 2000 when he used to make various suphide marbles. The space shuttle was molded by Ro and hand formed afterwards, a painstaking process that he shared with me this year (2023). Seriously, ONLY Ro would create something as classic and wild as this. What's great about Ro's sulphides is that he didn't do the basic clear encasement like so many others have done over the years, but he went much further with the concept. In this case, there are space murrini inside the marble which you have to explore in order to discover them all inside there. And of course the sweetest feature is the Earth murrine that the spaceship flies above! The marble is backed in cobalt blue, and then on the backside, you find lots of other space murrini as well. It's just a fantastic design, and it's one of those legendary marbles that will be harder and harder to acquire. This one is from the eaaarly days of the marble movement, a historical classic, signed with a signature chip, 'Ro 2'.
