Lovely spiral galaxy space marble, I've used a really colourful dichroic glass that gives lots of small glittering spots of colour in a dense tight cluster. There are magenta pinks, electric blues, elmerald greens, golds to coppers, and all these colours will shift colour and sparkle as its moved in the light. These are all real 3D effects locked into solid glass. Behind the spiral I've added whisps of blues and greens to create a distant nebula, and on the back of the marble I've used a high silver glass which creates wonderful tones of blues with patches of a slight metallic hint. The marble is 41.7mm/1.64 inches across.

For my marbles I use high quality laboratory grade borosilicate (often known by the 'Pyrex' trade name) which is ultra clear to help create lenses & the optical illusion of space and distance. As this is handmade glass there may be some surface imperfections and/or bubbles in the glass The top half of the marble is clear to act as a lens to help magnify the effects inside.

Along the rim of the marble (on the rim) I have signed and dated the marble with a titanium pen which leaves a subtle mark that can only be seen with the light in just the right angle (so not to detract from the design.) The glass has been fully annealed in a microprocessor controlled kiln, and comes with a stand as well as a certificate, that I have individually signed, stating that it is a handmade one-off item, made by me. This is entirely hand formed glass so there may be some surface imperfections and/or bubbles inside. Please note some of the photos show a square or triangle of white dots, this is just a reflection of my photographic lights and is not in/on the marble

Every marble I make is always slightly different, so are always a true one of a kind piece of artisan flamework made entirely by hand by lampwork in my studio in the heart of the English countryside, and is ideal either for an avid marble collector, sci-fi fan, or just for keeping in your pocket to stare into and dream of other worlds!
