  Hi all

While sorting, I’m sure we all come across bricks That have had a hard life or
have had a challenging journey. This time I’m erring towards this brick actually
coming from the factory as a dual colour brick rather than it being bleached
or something

What do you think ?

Cheers

The line between the colours looks very straight compared to most marbled bricks
I have seen. It might be genuinely produced that way, or it could have been that
the surface of this brick was partially immersed in something that has bleached
the colour. There seems to be a chip on the lighter side on the bottom that is
the darker of the two colours under the surface.

I onetime found a 1x6 plate in set that was half light bluish gray and half dark
bluish gray. The colors were split straight down the middle of the plate so I
think there is a good chance that this is a type of marbled brick.
