"Man in the Moon" Size: 2.87" Price: SOLD

This marble is VERY hard to let go of, as it is SO cool and SO unique and SOOOO rare. Ro made this one back in 1999 when he used to make various suphide marbles. The man in the moon was molded by Ro. 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 - for instance, you can see the alien head peeking out in one of my pictures, and there's many more down in there. 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 you may never get another chance to acquire. And hope that I don't change my mind about it, it's just SO cool, aaargh....

This one is from the eaaarly days of the marble movement, a historical classic, signed with a signature chip, 'Ro 99'.
