A slime mold, Arcyria ferruginea, grows on dead wood in Hertfordshire, UK. Despite their common name, slime molds are not fungal, and are in fact an amoeba-like organism that clumps together in large structures.

Hi, I was looking at the marble collection on your website and I was wondering what the details for the ninth marble down on the first page are? The glass looks melted and jagged, like splatters of paint or dark condensate on the surface of the marble. I'm wondering if this is a manufacturing flaw or if marbles are intentionally produced this way as a style of marble making. Is there a name for it that I can use to search for similar marbles? I am new to this and I am really interested to hear what information you have. Thank you. Your collection is beautiful!

Good eye! This is a contemporary marble made by an artist named Jonathan Bowers. It's definitely a unique style of marble, it looks like something that has rested for years on the ocean floor. Texture-wise it is one of the richest marbles I have ever held.

I haven't seen him make a similar marble in a while, but you can follow his work on Instagram and keep an eye on his Etsy, eBay, and website storefronts. He may make and sell another!

The thick red-black color swirled around these marbles is called "oxblood". Oxblood marbles are created by adding copper oxide to the glass mixture and severely reducing the level of oxygen it is exposed to during the heating process. As the marble is rolled and cooled, the copper re-oxidizes and attains its opaque red hue.

The oxblood marbles in my collection are easily some of my favorites as they evoke a brutality that makes them feel dangerous. All marbles are beautiful, but these hold their own special draw.

(The hole in the third marble was created when a trapped air bubble burst as it cooled.)

A new Champion furnace marble arrived in the mail today. Furnace debris is visible in the glass and it has a number of rolling defects, common features of this type of marble.
