    marble1.png marble2.png marble3.png marble5.png marble4.png I found this in an old box of misc. items. I don't remember where I got it. The back side is flat so I first thought book end but it's really kind of short to hold books. Anyone ever seen anything like this before?

    My vote is for Mexican souvenir.
    For small books.:playful:

    You know, you're right. I stand corrected. (Ouch!) It is more likely obsidian.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Does it actually work for books? It looks top heavy...

    It's probably just decorative, imo...

    It stands pretty straight but I thought it was short for books. I really don't know. You are probably right, it's just decorative.
