I grew up about a mile away from a marble factory – just one of four in the U.S. at the time.
I do not know how many marble factories are around today. Not many.
The factory near me had bins out back where they tossed defective marbles. They were misshaped and mostly flat.
We were allowed to play in the bins and take whatever we wanted. So we would load up bags with these defective marbles, take them home and make stuff. I always thought it would be cool to do a bar or counter top with flat ones placed under a glass counter top. But I never did it.
Marbles are not very popular today. But they were when I was a kid. You could play games with them, make stuff with them or go into a field, throw them and try to search and recover.

My favorite was the Cat’s Eye Opal.
Remember these?

You could hold one up to the sun, peer into it and get cool prism effects. Unfortunately, I’ve lost my marbles.
