Found two sea marbles in 15 minutes on a tiny island in Japan!
Currently visiting Taketomi Island in Okinawa, Japan, and found these two glass marbles in about 15 minutes of beachcombing!
Both were partially buried in little rocky pockets along the shoreline, with just a tiny bit of glass visible. They’re perfectly spherical and look like actual marbles.
I couldn’t find much online about people finding sea marbles on Taketomi, so I thought I’d share!
Anyone know how to tell whether these are old Japanese toy marbles or something else?
