This Listing is for a

1-7/32" Single Gather Saphire Blue Clearie

Item# GM0907
Here is one of the rarest, if not the rarest, marbles I have or have had in my possession. These single gathered marbles are far more scarce than the cane-cut varieties, and the extra large size of nearly 1-1/4" is practically unheard of. To add to the rarity, the color is a deep dark saphire blue, a hard to find color in any of the old handmades. The single pontil mark is exquisitely ground and you can see the concentric wrinkles clearly in the second and third pictures.
CONDITION: NEAR MINT(+) 8.99 It's a shame to have to call this one near mint because the marble has clearly never been played with or used for any other purpose than to look at. There are three tiny pinpricks, one has a tiny piece of embedded debris showing that at least this one is as-made. Also there are a few very light scratches that are truly light and are shown in the pictures.
