Someone I know wanted me to figure out if this was a German marble and what the value was. I don’t know a lot about marbles, but I knew people on here did

Looks like a machine ground mineral sphere. The antique German were primarily agate, ground by hand, and the facets will reflect light differently. Plus they didn't often exceed an inch. Pretty sure the one you have pictured is more modern. hope this helps
