Each year Drew Fritts put out a limited edition Christmas marble, and this marble is from the 2004 run, limited to 20 marbles, and is signed 'Xmas 10/20', along with his initials. The series started in 2000, and I've got every marble in my collection - I absolutely LOVE these!! The 2004 marble is especially beautiful because of the super bright goldstone used, and on top of that, this is a sweet example with such an amazingly perfect termination of the swirl. I don't know how he does that. I love the dimpled style he's created, lending seeming texture to the marble, and yet it is totally and perfectly round, having been encased in a quarter inch layer of clear crystal before rounding. Merry Christmas!
