2.5" to 4.5" Dichro Galaxy Blingers. The clear gathers were made on the lathe to save my arms and face the heated beating. Warming up for larger marbles? Probably not...lol. The biggest one weighed in at 4lbs 6oz. Thanks for looking!

1-15/16” diameter 2-sided CBS Rainbow Dichro Galaxy Marble with thousands of colored splinters exploding into perfect radial symmetry on both sides. The middle band of decoration is a layer of GA’s new Sno White, encased with an Ice Blue Transparent layer, and covered with pinwheels of Parramore Sky Blue and Midnight. Pictures don’t do much justice to the dichro. Signed and dated by the artist - "NM-'06"

2-sided Rainbow Dichro Galaxy Marble with thousands of colored splinters exploding into perfect radial symmetry on both sides. There is a layer of Turbo Cobalt in the middle seperating the two galaxies to stop light from going through the marble so the dichro is as bright as possible. The windows are bordered by Acid Yellow and Teal overlapping dots and pinwheels. 1-11/16" Diameter. Signed and dated by the artist - "NM-'06"

I allowed a band of the CBS Rainbow galaxy exposed on either side. Signed and dated by the artist, "NM-06"

DichroGalaxy_03 - Wonderful 2 sided Dichro Galaxy style Marble, with band of Amber Purple and Cobalt dots. Look through this marble with a light background behind the dichro and you get a tease of sparkle, hold it in your hand and the background darkens, exposing a dense spiral pattern of brilliant rainbow of colored dichro splinters. *Dust sold seperately

Here's another Dichro Wigwag marble, one of the inspirations for the window series. This marble is two sided with the front side a wigwag with large spiral center, and I twisted 4 spots around the center to give it some more flow. I then backed that with a small piece of the Accucolor Diamond Plate Pattern dichro and left a small window on the back to view it from. The dots are OG moss and Turbo. The front wigwag is Forest Green and Yellow Crayon.

Great Dichro backed Wigwag Marble. It's two sided; the dichro that lays over the wigwag in the back window was the main intention but as an added side effect, the dichro shows through the front wigwag design in certain angles of light and shimmers vibrantly. The termination pont could have been cleaner. 1-3/4" Diameter.

This is a two-sided marble which offers a Ruby colored raked flower pattern on the front with a dichro backing, and a DA dichro 'mirror' in the back window. This was the beginning of the window series thought process, before I started making them out of stick stack tubing for depth (See how the pattern is 'Smeary' in this application compared to the newer ones?)

Cyclone Dichro Marble. The streaks in the clear aren't that obvious as in the pictures. I think the light just caught them really bad. Oh well, just messing around.
