SWIRL, Divided Core. Very unusual and large end of cane marble. This is three-layer Divided Core Swirls that were from the end of a cane, off the same cane, that are melted together. You can clearly see that they were two separate pieces off the same cane because there is a thin plane of tiny seed air bubbles where the two halves were combined. Very unusual marble. Sometimes you see these as a single marble that is folded over. But this is two marbles joined together. You occasionally will find this type, but I have never seen one this large. One tiny half-moon chip, one tiny subsurface moon, some pits and scratches. Views very nicely, much better than the condition would indicate. Germany, circa 1860-1920. 2-1/16". Near Mint (8.5).
