I Found a Marble With a Number on It and What Does It Mean?
Have you discovered a beautiful glass marble with a number engraved on it? You’re not alone — and what you’ve found is far more than a marble. It’s part of the Eternal Release Marble Project, a movement that honors life, love, and memory in a truly one-of-a-kind way.
Each numbered marble is handcrafted with cremation ashes from a beloved person or pet, encased forever in glowing borosilicate glass. These marbles are made to be shared, traveled, and discovered, carrying a piece of someone’s spirit across time and place.
What Is the Eternal Release Marble Project?
The Eternal Release Marble Project is a heartfelt tribute to those we’ve lost — and a way to keep their memory alive, one marble at a time.
Each marble is:
-
Infused with cremation ashes from a person or pet.
-
Individually numbered and recorded in the Eternal Release tracker.
-
Designed to be given to family members, left at meaningful places, or released into the world to be found by someone like you.
When you find a marble with a number on it, you’ve found a piece of someone’s journey — a token of eternal love set free.
Why Is There Just a Number?
You may be wondering, “Why is there no website or explanation — just a number?”
Here’s why:
-
Our marbles are small and simple by design, holding only the most essential detail: a unique number.
-
That number is your key to unlocking the story behind the marble.
Because there’s no URL or message, it adds a layer of mystery and discovery — but we’ve made it easy to learn more.

A Traveling Tribute
These marbles are meant to move. Some are placed at the top of a favorite mountain, by a beloved tree, or even passed between friends and strangers. Each one carries the energy and story of a life — and your discovery becomes part of that legacy.
If you choose to keep the marble with a number on it, display it with love and learn who is in there to tell their story.
If you choose to pass it on, do so with heart and think of thier journey of life.
Either way, you’ve become part of something meaningful and rare.
Who Makes These Marbles?
Each Eternal Release Marble is hand-blown by a glass artist who treats every marble as if it were made for their own family. Every detail is intentional, from the color to the shape, creating a beautiful way to preserve and honor ashes.
