I think it and the others are cullet. Even with my greenishness (sic), I would agree on cullet. No arguement that it is polished. Even to me that much is obvious. I am starting to really like cullet marbles, even though this is the first place I have even seen or heard of them. _________________ Don't Tread On Me Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Marvelous Mibs Marbles Collectors Zone Forum Index -> Pros & Cons All times are GMT - 4 Hours Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3 Page 3 of 3   Jump to: Select a forum Marvelous Mibs----------------Marbles & Glass ChatPros & ConsArchivesThe LoungeThe Test Forum Welcome!----------------Community Guidelines & AnnouncementsContact the Moderators or Administrator The Collectors Corner----------------Collectors Anonymous  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
