"Purple Onion Skin" Size: 1.47" Price: SOLD

The term 'onion skin' style of marbles comes from the early antique handmade marbles, which have layers of color running down through the marble - the layers of an onion. Out of all the onion skin style marbles I have ever seen, I have to say that Rolf Wald's take on this style is by FAR the most enjoyable and fun to check out. I don't know how he achieves that 'look' to this marble style, but it is just cool. Rolf adds an extra element to his though, adding a layer of mica flakes to the outer layer of the marble, so it looks as if it's snowing on the outside. Snowing gold that is, ha. Wonderful concept, and you've gotta love the lavender and other rich colors in this one against the dark background, SO nice!!
