You Found a Numbered Marble. Now What?
If you've found a small, hand-blown glass marble with a number etched into it, no name, no message, no website, you're probably wondering:
What does this marble mean?
It means you've become part of a beautiful life journey.
That marble is a piece of a greater tribute — an Eternal Release Marble, infused with cremation ashes and created to honor someone who has passed. These marbles travel the world, carrying love, memory, and spirit with them.
Why Is There Only a Number?
Eternal Release Marbles are intentionally minimal.
Each marble contains a small amount of cremation ash from a loved one or pet. Because of their size, they only hold a unique number, no names or web addresses.
This simplicity preserves the art and mystery.
But that number is powerful, it’s your key to unlocking the story behind the marble.

What Are Eternal Release Marbles?
These marbles are handmade memorials using borosilicate glass. Each one is:
-
Infused with cremation ash
-
Crafted with care and love by experienced glass artists
-
Intended for sharing, travel, or display
-
Numbered and tracked for meaning and connection
They're small, portable tributes that help people grieve, celebrate, and share the memory of someone special.
Can I Keep the Marble?
Yes, and it’s your choice.
Some people choose to keep the marble as a heartfelt memento. Others pass it on, placing it somewhere meaningful or gifting it to someone who needs light in their life.
Either way, by discovering it, you’ve been entrusted with a piece of someone’s story.
