If you're anything like me, you'll sometimes despair at trying to find a mint Antique German handmade marble. Even the best of the ones for sale have light wear or something else the matter with them. Collectors take heart. Here is a brilliantly colorful divided core that actually got lost in my Joseph's Coat box because the colors are so bright and in such close proximity to each other as to resemble a JC even while in the same box with them. And at 29/32", just 3/32 from the majic one inch mark, the size makes the viewing easier and more enjoyable.
CONDITION: MINT(+) 9.7 at least. What a shiny, wet-looking surface. There may be a tiny open air-bubble or something like that, but I didn't find any. I guess if there's anything wrong with this marble, it would be the significant number of tiny interior bubbles that tend to mar the crystalline purity of the base glass.
