Here is another early gem by Gateson, a Universe marble hailing from the year 2003, which was only the second year that Gateson was selling these amazing marbles. A marble like this was so far beyond anything we had seen at the time, and I'll never forget how my jaw hung open when I looked into one of these back in 2003. Especially amazing was a marble like this which features a huge vortex, and you can see that an opal planet has been crushed by the pull of this vortex as it is sucked down inside. Two other large planets are featured in this universe, along with some of Gateson's legendary fuming. The fuming is very shiny in hand in many places, reinforcing the idea that space is a jewel waiting to be explored. This is a great opportunity for a great buy on a very early piece of Gateson Recko Universe marble history!! Signed 'Gateson 2003'.
