Never gave it much thought before..

I have a couple buddies that blow glass. One of them sales 4-6" diameter marbles online, mostly japan he says, for like 3, 4, 5k each. Beautiful pieces of art!

Solid. My ex gf was a glass blower too and taught me how to do some stuff. I've sat and watched them for hours.

So you're telling me I wasted my money on these marble tree seeds . . .
