This large 2-1/4" MultiVortex has 5 different places to peer inside at the beautiful Gilson Green Raw Opal - the pics do not capture the fire in the opal at all. The vortex' surrounding the marble are all from Orange, Yellow, and Red Crayon custom canestock and the outside is all Black Elvis with bordering pinwheels of Almond Nugget and Elvis around each individual Vortex. Signed and dated by the artist, "NM-06"

1.75" Early '04. I made this with a different technique than I was later taught for vortex marbles. I used the end of some already spun up cane stock and put a magnifier on the end. I could have decorated the back I guess, I didn't though for whatever reason.
