1" emerald glass dichroic marble

Description

This 1” glass sphere is sure to brighten up your home or office. Light reflects beautifully from it, and adds a splash of color to your surroundings. These marbles are handmade so each is unique and a little different than the next. They will continue to mesmerize and delight your sense of sight. The type of glass used in this artwork is borosilicate glass, also called Pyrex, and the glitter comes from the dichroic glass inclusion, which acts as a colored mirror giving off shimmery sparkles. The marbles are formed by heating the glass with a torch to the point that it is soft and fluid. The back of each marble has a raked design pulled into the center that creates a colorful flower like mandala design. Another detail that makes these marbles distinct is that the artist uses an age old Italian glass technique called milliefiore in a new and exclusive way to sign his work. Each marble contains a slice of millifiore that says “Rob,” melted into each piece. The marbles come with a rubber O-ring for display purposes. This heirloom quality piece of art makes a perfect gift for someone else or yourself! It is extremely durable and will easily last for many generations.
