Such very old clay marbles have beenfound in both Greek and Roman ruins, and quartz spheres have been dated at around 6000B.C. Harder and more durable marbles tend to inspire different kinds of games than soft claymarbles, which crack very easily.

Stone marbles began to appear in the early 1800s in what is now the southernpart of Germany. Shortly after, handmade glass marbles appeared in the same part of Europe.For the next 120 years, marbles and marble playing-there were literally hundred of games -flourished in both Europe and America. Marble players developed their own vocabulary fordifferent sizes and materials of marbles, as well as for the many kinds of games to be playedand the way marbles were used in the games.
