I've used the wrong term really, my mistake. Crack does imply some depth to
the damage, and if a marble were found in this state, then it would surely
become two fractions of a marble next time it were dropped.
Perhaps scratched would perhaps better describe the effect I'm searching
for. Does anyone out there have access to any well used marbles; can you
check should I be going for scratched and chipped, or just chipped ?
I'm thinking also that I've got the coloured bit all wrong as well. Should
be more ribbon-like, less solid.
Think I best head for the toy shop this week and remind myself what they
look like !
Thanks for your thoughts.
