Gemstone Marble
For the young or young-at-heart, or for those who remember "The Good Old Days" when marbles were made of genuine stones, here is a fabulous gemstone marble made of Lepidolite. These look very nice on display, perhaps in a potted plant, or a decorative bowl. But their main purpose, of course, is for playing! Gemstone marbles are stronger and sturdier than the cheap glass kind. They make playing the game a truly wonderful experience. Buy several for yourself, or give a child a taste of when "Playing For Keeps" really meant something! This marble is approximately 19mm across.
