Why has that guy got an Altec-Lansing iMac speaker strip hanging off his shoulder? |

It's an early warning system. They would spread lightbulbs out to detect these "creatures" as they are normally invisible. What he is wearing would start to go off when one of these things was close. I'll avoid further spoilers. Odd film. I enjoyed it. |

It looks like they have a geometric surface. I think with the right paint job you could accomplish something similar to the pics you posted (would possibly need a clear bead for transparency). The key would be having a large number of facets.

I used to have some clear glass ones, with swirly colors inside. Try checking eBay, or a children's game store. |

At a reasonable price, you might look at "Crystal" Cateye Marbles.
They tend to be clear with some colored structure inside

Avamango! Wow. Did you just search for "marbles" on ebay, or something else? Dan |
| Redroom | 09 Mar 2014 3:52 p.m. PST |
CC – put the below in an eBay search: PEACH-CRACKLED-GLASS-MARBLES-HAND-MADE or NEW-25-FAIRY-22mm-GLASS-MARBLES-TRADITIONAL-GAME-or-COLLECTORS-ITEMS I looked at the HTML source of AVAMANGO's post to get it. |

Wow, those marbles AVAMANGO found are spectacular! Originally I was going to suggest a type of plastic bead, but those marbles blow them away completely! I don't really have a need for those cracked glass marbles but now I'm trying to justify a purchase. |
| Cacique Caribe | 09 Mar 2014 6:37 p.m. PST |
I know, right? That first set is amazing! Dan |

By the way, a while back I even considered using the clear side of vending machine capsules, as was once suggested by javelin98:

TMP link But, until today I never thought marbles might be the solution. Dan |

Redroom has given you the needed information Dan and i am glad i could be of some help. :) auction |
| Cacique Caribe | 09 Mar 2014 11:52 p.m. PST |
I'm definitely getting those. Thanks so much! Dan |
| AVAMANGO | 10 Mar 2014 3:25 a.m. PST |
I have to admit that using a marble as a force field is a pretty good idea and its cheap, simply hot glue them to a coin for stability and away you go. Just to let you know Dan those cracked glass marbles you like come in a rainbow of different colors. :) Zac |

House of marbles is your friend in the UK, you want it they have it |

Would you be able to mount a LED or rice light under the marble to give it a glow? |

love these marbles, I can see a few great uses for them. |
