    Is this marble something?

    I found this marble at a site that was producing mid 1800's stuff with the metal detector.
    I know nothing about marbles at all and I would love to know more about this one and how you are coming to your conclusions so I know more next time.

    By the way I have not cleaned it, not even under running water.

    Thanks!

    All I can see is that it has no pontil and it has tiny air bubbles throughout. What can help you more with an ID in regards to pics?

    you could try to put it in a bowl of water....shoot straight down.....if you use macro....dont use flash brighten it up in your photo shop......
