Description: JABO Dave's Fall Classic MarbleFlamesMINT Run Date: 11/23/11 This JABO run called "Dave's Fall Classic" has some very interesting history. Besides being a small boutique run of marbles, many marbles from this run contained expensive Kugler striking glass as well as exotic additives including different hues of aventurine. As a group, these marbles are very rare. Many of these are now impossible to find. In fact, the sprinkles were only made in hand full quantities. Some of these particular specimens cannot be found without a flaw due to rareness and inherent production conditions. So, these marbles would be a great addition to any collection. This particular marble has some beautiful patches of green aventurine glass against the bright daffodil yellow base glass. There are also some very fine lines of coffee colored glass for some interesting shapes that look like rolling mountain landscapes in the distance. My local Sonoma County foothills have some similarly shaped landscape features such as Bennett Peak, Fountaingrove Hills and Sugarloaf Mountain. If you like the lighter brighter colored marbles that are highly collectable, then this one is for you. And one more big deal...this one has some flames. Check them out in the first photograph. Flames are one of the characteristics that collectors value over many other types of unusual formations. This will definitely go into the keeper vault in most collections. I rotate my marbles to show all sides to show as much detail as possible. I also use a high resolution Canon Rebel DSLR camera with built-in flash to highlight all the angles. This assures that there will be no dead spots or boring sides to the marble. This marble was made on the 3/4" marble machine and it measures a nice 0.741" in diameter with a pair of electronic calipers.
