Glass. == I would guess that the first marbles that people played with were round rocks found near streams. Later, they were made out of ceramic materials (see the link). However, the cat's eye and other types are made of glass. There are several hundred different glass designs--with names! The Marble House in Devon, UK is outstanding for its hand blown marbles and extensive collection of marbles available. I was unable to find an online brochure showing pictures, though.

Marble is a metamorphic rock that is primarily composed of calcite or dolomite minerals. It is formed from the recrystallization of limestone under high pressure and temperature conditions. Marble is valued for its aesthetic appeal and is commonly used in sculptures, building materials, and decorative elements.

A hard crystalline metamorphic rock, marble consists mainly of calcite (CaCO3) or dolomite (CaMg (CO3)2), or a combination of both. While pure calcite marble is white, impurities such as hematite, limonite, serpentine, and diopside add red, yellow, green, and blue respectively.
