MINT(+) 3/4"+ Christensen Agate Co. TRI-COLOR FLAME

Item# GM1668
EXTREMELY RARE
Any CAC collector knows how difficult it is to find one of their FLAME swirls, especially one with three colors and none of them white. This gorgeous blue based has yellow and brown flame tips all over, and the way they hold together without blending is one of the defining traits of the CAC experience. So, this is an extremely rare marble; but it doesn't stop there:
The Christensen Agate Company was only in existence for a couple of years and didn't produce that many marbles to begin with, and nearly all of them were 21/32" or less, right on down to and including peewees. They just didn't make very many shooters; that's what adds to the rarity of this beauty, at .765", it is considerably larger than 3/4", a size that is seldom seen with any style of CAC marble, much less a three color non-white FLAME; and, the real kicker is the wonderful high MINT condition.
CONDITION: MINT(+) 9.8 The surface has the wet, shiny look of a brand new marble. I can only find a single tiny anomoly in the form of a tiny touch mark--visible just to the left of center in the fifth image. That's it.
