    Because of my Adult ADD I was at an estate sale the other day and this marble caught my eye. Ohhhhhhh, so pretty and shiny. I decided to buy it for that reason. It was on a little copper stand. It was a dollar so I figured I could give it to my grandson if it was a goofy buy. marble1.png marble3.png marble3.png marble4.png marble5.png

    I don't personally know but here is a website I've used in the past when trying to figure out some I found.

    I think it may be a modern shooter marble from Mexico.

    Looks kinda big for a marble... but I don't know anything about marbles, LOL.

    My first thought was that it may be a single baoding ball?
    They are more common in stainless steel but glass/crystal ones are available. They're also available with or without chimes inside.
