| Many cullet marbles are spectacular and very rarely resemble a machinemade marble. I have even gotten a few from China. (they call them Cherry Quartz) |

| While there are some who evidently find this type of reworked marble appealing I consider it an aberration of the highest sort and a slap in the face to naturally created machine-made marbles. I suppose seeing one (or more) being offed in this fashion adds to my consternation. I know there's a place for reworked or polished marbles but this sucks. David |

My first thoughts while reading this thread was that it looked like an Akro Imperial. 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. |

Ok, I get it now..............Richard Buell makes marbles by grinding them out of cullet.

or anybody with access to cullet, a rock-saw, a wet grinding wheel, and a sphere grinding (marble polishing) machine |

| Half the marbles he currently has listed look polished to me. Several are ground down worse than the cullet. Peace,Galen |

| So, has anyone who's a regular with eBay reported this bogus marble and this particular individuals modus operandi? Seems as though he's been at it long enough to elevate it to criminal status. David Chamberlain |

I wish Lily's mom could have read those before she bid... or paid and left feedback. |
