Holy Cow!!!! I've been collecting marbles for a long time now, and I've had my share of rare and beautiful marbles, but I really believe this one tops them all. To begin with the base glass is transparent green, the rarest of all colors from the Christensen base glass palate.
The stripes consist of yellow-orange, electric orange, electric yellow, turquois, green, brown, tan, and if you look toward the center of the third picture and just to the right of the seam, you can see a short segment of lavender/purple. That makes eight colors for the stripes that not only run from seam to seam on the surface, but also work a magnificant pattern down inside the marble. In fact, there is so much going on that I've included ten pictures, instead of the usual six, to demonstrate that there is just no poor view. Also, at 21/32" this is one of the larger sizes of this type than is usual. CONDITION: MINT(+) 9.7 Pristine wet glossy surface with no sign of wear of any kind.
