I love the contrast between the rough outside 'stone' and the inside. Brilliant!

Stunning, my favourite is the middle one. No idea how you've made them, but they are fantastic.

WOW! Those are gorgeous!

By your reference to a flat lap, I am guessing you make a marble with an opaque outer coating and rub away some of it? You say it's not difficult, but I certainly couldn't manage it, even with all the patience in the world!

Me too but I thought whirlpool.
Looking at your geodes, has anyone covered the backs of marbles with fine sand to make them look like geodes. I've covered COE 104 beads with the sand to make them look like ancient Roman beads
