Homes454 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I think they are all opaque arent they guys and girls? Except for the MFC Oxblood slags, they isnt that dark green transparent? pax Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hey Ness, if this is for learning reference, depending on the type of monitor you have, sometimes oxblood doesn't look "true" online... I never seemed to have a problem, until I got this new Dell flat monitor, now the oxblood seems more bright red and less dense and opague, with even the possibility of looking transparent.... Of all the great pictures above, that I'm sure are oxblood... Only Road Dogs really look oxblood in color, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homes454 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yeah, my monitor shows them redder than they really are too, though they do vary quite a bit....see the pics in BB Big Marble book with a buch together.....here are a couple of pics of them that seem more "natural".....Jon ps the MFC Brick is pretty close to natural color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggiesmarbles Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Sue, that is so funny, I have an HP laptop with a 15.4" Hi Def widescreen and Roaddogs are the only ones that lack definition for me. Homes first set of pics look the best! Weird how those monitors play tricks on us! Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homes454 Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 WAY RED......are you sure that green brick (aka ox slag) is an MFC? pax Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTAndrea Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Are the terms "green brick" and "oxblood slag" used interchangeably? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homes454 Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Kinda......according to BB the oxblood slag was originally named Moss Agate by MFC, very very dark green glass and oxblood....also some of the pics in Mike's post above are Akro Cornelians and are darker reds and reddish purples.....and BB says that there is some proof from recent digs that Akro also made a brick....but most of these type marbles are called any and all of the above depending on the seller.....pax Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Not the greatest picture, but I've been calling this an oxblood slag. Aka a green brick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Slag= transparent glass with white swirling or striping. If it has another color glass other than a little accidental it really is not a slag. IMHO. Peace,Galen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 That's great, I'd rather call it a green brick anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Andrea - your marble is an MFC IMHO - a 'green brick' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest browse4antiques Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 When it is the oxblood that forms the primary striping glass (forms the 9-and-tail) then it is a green brick. If it is a primarily white in green slag with some oxblood mixed in, then it is an oxblood slag. At least that's how I understand it. ...

Homes454 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Sorry, I can't tell from that pic, there are several pics above....is the dark glass very dark transparent green? pax Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
