Flashed Green and Old Gems

Years ago, copier ink was micro ground in "ball mills".  The balls here are hard, clear glass marbles, or "stones".  I used to work in an ink factory for a few years after college, and have remained friends with some of the people I worked with.  When the place recently closed, I salvaged a box of these clear stones.  Some now reside in a bathroom window.  They form an interior border around lenses, green flashed glass, and some jewels almost a hundred years old.  I love incorporating unusual or historic glass into my windows.
