SWIRL, Latticinio Core. Stunning three-layer Latticinio Core Swirl. White latticinio core. Middle layer is four bands. One each of pink on white, blue on white, pink on yellow, green on yellow. Outer layer is four sets of three yellow strands. Excellent symmetry to the marble design and craftsmanship. It is unusual from a number of aspects. First it is double twist, giving it a tornado effect. Second the outer yellow strands have lots of lumpy yellow blobs in the strands. Also, one of the sets of yellow strands is intermittent. Does not appear to be from near an end of the cane as the inner designs are complete and intact. Looks like it was made this way. Very thick outer layer of clear glass. Faceted pontil. A number of small and tiny subsurface moons, some pits, some overall light wear and scratches. While the marble is not Mint, it views very well, because of it's size and unique design. Not Mint, but a beauty, will look great in display case. Germany, circa 1860-1920.2-1/8". Near Mint(-) (8.0).
