This is 9/16" & has a faceted pontil. My camera is acting up so theses pics are not that good. Sorry. In Marble Mania, pg 28, there is one in amber glass that is TRTV. I know this one isn't that but what kind of value would this have, if any?
 <a href="http://s216.photobucket.com/albums/cc199/ltdpad/jj/?action=view¤t=074-1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc199/ltdpad/jj/074-1-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> 
Thanks in advance

| Is the glass really that yellow in person or more of an amber? Or, I suppose it could be clear glass with the yellow latts now that I look again. Either way, nice marble. I really don't like to put a "value" on something like that from pictures. Especially since there might be 1 person with a lot of cash willing to pay way more for it, than the other 99 percent of the population. |

It is very close to that yellow. The flash brightened it up a tad.

| So the base glass is really that yellow and not some illusion from the stripes...can't say I've seen one that color. Every once in a while some of the blue and green base glass latts pop up, not sure how yellow would compare value-wise. |

| I think it is quite a rare handmade. In that color of yellow, assuming nice condition I would not be surprised to see it go over $500, and who knows if a few deep pocket collectors were after it, perhaps much more. ... Roger |

| There have been blue and green based ones going for some bucks on ebay lately. Are you planning to list this one? |
