Large Ponitled ? Marbles ? - 12/2/2006 3:39:40 PM    towhead Posts: 909 Joined: 12/31/2004 Status: offline Found these where there was once an AFB.   They look to be translucent ....You can see your reflection in them, but, you can also see through them, but then, things are upside down.  Are these pontiled?  Anything special?  Thanks!

Glass forms creases when rolled at too cool of temps.There are no such things as Crease Pontils. Crease pontils are really shear marks not pontil marks.  (in reply to huffmnd) Post #: 4
