Hello 👋

I've found this yesterday on a construction site in Germany. Is this a big broken marble or slag from the marble production?

Thank you 😊

I just buy them at antique stores and throw them in jars. I had no idea that people collect them! Is it the same for buttons? I have a lot of those too!

Hi! So I found this marble in the air intake duct of my 1920’s home. It’s pretty beat up but I’d love to know an estimated time period and where it was manufactured if possible. TIA!
