This is one of the most sought-after marbles in the entire global community of marble collectors: the Christensen Agate Co. (CAC) GUINEA. This example uses nearly every color of the CAC pallette. In this instance, tiny flecks of colored glass are applied to nearly 100% of the surface of a transparent clear-based single seam marble.
CONDITION: NEAR MINT The surface is shiny, and I don't see any signs of wear, but numerous anomalies developed during the manufacturing processes. The second and sixth pictures show a flat spot that appears to result from an annealing flake; there are multiple diminutive melted dimples and a couple of pinpricks that may or may not be as made.
