Very nice transparent base contract run . After my E.T. Crystals listing's two weeks ago, I was hoping to find my remaining stash on a request, but after hours of searching, I realized I had none remaining. I then searched throughout an untapped pile of Jabos from purchases made over the last couple of years, which I just haven't had time to thoroughly investigate...and voila! I found a small bag of 3/4", a bag of double ingots, and a bag of small, misc. cullet. I'm happy to say I was able to find a few previously unseen examples for my collection, and the rest is here for bids. I actually think it looks cool. It's a Six color counting Oxblood , not counting the metallic looking Carbon surface scar. Upon investigation of the scar, 10x study left me unsure, so I broke out the 30x loupe, but I still cannot determine what has happened here. It appears to be a burnt out inclusion of some sort, likely created by the same thing that left a lot of marbles from this run with tiny bit's of carbon debris on the surface. Maybe an experiment gone awry. This inquiring mind will find out.Measures 55/64", or .86", a touch under 7/8". Another one that was pulled from the machine (all this week's E.T.'s were). Winners can inquire how I know.Under 10x magnification I found no damage, no touch marks, but it does have some associated carbon bits near read more
