Ballarat Marble Sphere, California, 3 inches in diameter.
In this desolate are in the canyons of the Panamint range south of Death Valley lies the almost ghost town of Ballarat. It has 1 residence. To the south about a quarter mile are steep canyons that see very little water. Here is where the marble weathers out of the high canyon walls. A remarkable place where my eldest was once chased by a wild burro.
