webfact Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Huge "crystal ball" dug out of construction site in Chonburi Thai caption: Mystery lump Reporters went to a pipe laying site in Don Hua Lor, Chonburi after a mechanical digger operator unearthed a mystery object. It was a large object weighing 13 kilos that resembled a crystal ball. Sangwan Trairak, 60, found it buried two meters underground and took it home. His daughter put pictures on Facebook in an effort to ascertain its value. Sangwan said that if it turns out to be valuable he will give it up to the landowner but if not he will have it sculpted into a Buddhist image, such is its diamond like beauty.

daoyai Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 my guess is that it is raw glass imported from Italy or Middle East... very common in the distant past. might be of value from a historical perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Dough Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I suggest that the finder fashions it into a real crystal ball then hands it over to the TAT. It really will help with the veracity of tourist numbers. Rooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantom Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I worked as a kiln operator at Pilkinsons glass in the UK many aeons ago. This looks like a lump of frit glass which is ground up and used in the glazing process. I must have fired tonnes of the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
