If you asked Ro how long it took him to make this marble....he might tell you FORTY years! As mentioned in the bio above, Ro first made marbles back in 1973, the world's first, and 40 years later he is STILL at it. These marbles represent decades of murrini creation, and in fact, they contain murrini chips from some of the earliest cane that is over 30 years old!

These 40 year marbles mark the culmination of Ro's marble life up to this point in time, and they are denoted with a special '40' murrini under Ro's signature cane. These will be VERY limited and VERY special, so you will want to jump at this chance. The Murrini Sphere has always been Ro's premiere signature marble, and no true marble collection can be considered complete without one of these installed in the center - and what better way to do it than with a special 40 Year Murrini!

This one is a really large example, and it's VERY special in the fact that BOTH poles are finished on this one! Ro has only ever made a few spheres like this, and only 2 of the 40-year spheres have this feature. They are a lot of extra work, so it just won't happen very often.
