Choice of Colors: Black Gray/White Moss Green Light Blue Light Purple Pink Orange Tri Color (Green, Orangish/Red, and Blue) Cat's eye is a man made, synthetic gemstone material; however, it didn't start out that way. It was a by-product of a material manufactured for the telecommunications industry--photo optic glass. Tiny hair-like strands of pure glass are drawn from glass rods by a high tech, fiber drawing tower. Some of the glass fibers are more than a mile long and are wound on spools. The strands are used in telecommunications to make photo optic cable that transmits light signals at the speed of light over long distances. Thousands of these hair-sized strands are pressed together under heat and pressure to form thick plates of fiber optic glass. Lapidary artisans use this special chatoyant glass to cut and polish beautiful eggs, spheres, beads, jewelry and art objects. Please be aware that marbles are very difficult to photograph and due to differences in personal settings on computers and hand held devices the colors you see may vary slightly from the color you receive. Lighting such as flash photography can greatly effect the look of a marble as can holding the marble under different types of lighting can make the color look slightly different. We do our absolute best to represent our marbles accurately and true to color, but even the best photography will not display as 100% perfect.
