I bought a mixed lot (about 3 lbs) of marbles and a 22 lb box of unsorted cats eyes last week :D talk about fun! It was so great going through them all and discovering ones that I didn't have any examples of yet! In the mixed lot I got 2 german handmades, an Indian, a handcut agate, some colorful Benningtons, and some unknown vintage marbles.... Plus a lot more :D and in the catseye box I found so many neat catseyes including an Akro UV Corkscrew and a handmade german Mica! Woot! :D I hope I have more lots like that in the future :D I love not knowing what you're gonna find

Nice colors.



Is that mica considered "cased"? Or am I confusing that term with something else?





I kinda like the stone ones to have moons. I think of those as "veterans".

Geesh I don't know enough about micas yet to evan answer that maybe someone else will know???? I know.... Even though it takes away from the value dollar-wise..... I think its kinda neat.... It means someone had and used the marble. That it made the rounds, winning and maybe losing.... It has history more so than simply being antique

[Guitartists]

After a quick search... Yes, it seems 'cased' is used in reference to micas.... Though I could only find one photo ..... So I think it refers to a thick outer layer of glass on top of the layer containing the mica????? Mine appears to have mica only in the outer layer with the inside being mica-less and it has a little core of bubbles running from pontil to pontil.
