About
A toy marble is a small glass sphere measuring just over half an inch across, commonly used in tabletop games.
Marbles can range from tiny 0.2-inch (0.5 cm) spheres to large display pieces reaching 1.4 inches (3.5 cm) or more. The most familiar playing pieces sit right in the middle at about 0.63 inches (1.6 cm), while the designated shooter marbles used to knock them are often around 0.75 inches to 1 inch (1.9 to 2.5 cm). Because they are solid glass, stone, or clay, they pack notable weight into a very tiny footprint, giving them the momentum needed to roll easily.
From Wikipedia
A marble is a small spherical object often made from glass, clay, steel, plastic, or agate. These toys can be used for a variety of games called marbles, as well being placed in marble runs or races, or created as a form of art.
