Description

The listing, Indian Marbles - Cave Pearls - cave marbles has ended.

6 Cave Pearls, also known as Indian marbles and cave marbles. They are about the same size as regular marbles, or slightly larger.

These are neither man-made nor marbles. They are naturally occurring geological formations found in caves, geological (stone) pearls. Most often they are spherical but not perfectly round - there are tiny bumps on the surface and occasional zig-zag line.

They form around a dirt nucleus (same principle as oyster pearls) by accretion of calcite / limestone in areas where water inside the cave flows too quickly for the formation of stalagmites.

Third photo shows a regular marble and a dime for size comparison. These two are not included LOL. Last 4 photos show the cave's natural environment.

Shipping to Listia verified address only, the next (business) day.

NO GIN requests please and no Canadian shipping.

Indeed, if you search online you will find jewelry made with these marbles. The ones I have listed are rather large but I have smaller ones as well - not as heavy. Will list in a couple of weeks. What I do is soak them in essential oils (takes about a month for the fragrance to permeate the limestone) then use them inside my lingerie drawers LOL.
