This is a modern small mineral sphere, suitable for collecting. It can also serve as a fancy and devastating shooter, as it is literally as hard as stone! This is common agate - an age-old material for manufacturing marbles - that is why many people simply call marbles "Agates" or "Aggies." Marbles made of agate are purported to make the very best shooters. This agate is translucent (allows light to pass through it) which adds dimension and depth to the orb. Choice examples will feature subtle banding, sometimes found in agates, which sometimes forms an attractive bull's-eye pattern.
