Carnelian marbles? I want to see pix!

When Monday hits I will upload some picts they are nice. I have two boxes of assorted bagged marbles. Some are really big and look to be of some chalky material.. hope they are not radioactive. I keep my geiger counter at home guess I should store it at work.

when you say marbles do you mean the perfect sphere or more like beads? IMHO these beads have a multitude of use. Especially when made out of semi precious stone.
Beads like Tiger eye, onyx, bloodstone, different types of agate, etc are great to give class to a gentlemans folders lanyard.

If they are thrue spheres they might need drilling before application.Included is a diagram with Mohs hardness for different materials.

I've got a hand made marble that was cut from granite. In a small town in Tennessee every year they have a marbles tournament and use this type of marble. Things about an inch or so round, pretty good size.
