JABO West Virginia Marble Collectors Club (WVMCC) Marble  

Gold Lutz Guinea

Mint -

Run Date: 4/12/11

This nice example of the JABO WVMCC marble run has the gold lutz chunks that adds that little bit extra pizzazz and pop to a marble. This is usually accomplished by someone (perhaps even Dave himself) standing over the molten glass stream of glass and physically adding gold lutz chips into the molten stream of glass flowing out of the kiln. The color and sparkling effect of the gold chunks on the marble surface is quite nice. The colors on this WVMCC marble are pink, yellow, ivory and oxblood. The tradition of West Virginia as the marble capital of America is steeped in rich history. I'm from West Coast, so I am not speaking from first hand experience, but growing up in this West Virginia area must have been so cool. If you like soft pastel pinky marbles, then this one is for you.

 I try my best to take high resolution pictures with flash to show exactly what you are getting as well as to rotate the marble to give multiple views. I use a Canon Rebel DSLR camera with flash so that all the fine details are visible. This marble was manufactured using the 3/4" machine and the size of this particular marble is 0.667". Note: this marble is slightly smaller than most marbles from 3/4" machines. It is definitely bigger than a peewee, but just not as big as the average JABO custom. Note 2: the downgrade from perfectly mint marble is due to some small amount of orange peel (see last picture).
