Fiber Optic
This marble I got at a garage sale. It is made out of glass. The lines in it make a complete circle all the way around it like a stone agate. The dark lines are translucent and the beige bands are to cloudy to see through. It almost looks like Jupiter.
My research from a book reports this might be a marble made out of fiber optic cable. Reportedly made in the 1980's. The attributes of such a marble are that you can not see through it, but if you place it over some text from a book you can see the text. A sort of contact clarity, not clear but has the ability to see through it. This marble has that attributes.
