This question is on another plane/plain, but what about fire-brick....I see in some of my marbles the little white specs of substance, but what about say a catseye that has a vane bubbled up like firebrick? I would love to insert a pick here, but I have already packed the marbles in question...
Do you know what I am talking about?.... If not I will have to get back to you about this in July or August when we get moved and unpacked and I can insert a photo.

That's something I'm still learning about. I could try to hunt up some old threads on them and piece together info but it probably be more interesting if you try this one out in the main chat area. Some people who've actually seen tank washes might be able to give you input.



edit - here's a link to the threat Matt posted in general chat:

Tank Wash Marbles

Steph...tsk, tsk....and I thought we were civil marble people herePosted Image.....and posting links to it.....LOL : I couldn't resist!

I have a set of what look like same run cat's eyes which look like they might have brick in the vanes. And I have cats with bubbles in the vanes, sometimes manifest as very thin spots.



Took me some time for this to dawn on me -- but why couldn't the glass which goes to make the vanes have brick bits or air pockets in it? The base glass can. Why not the vane glass?

Could I see those, or do you have pics of them in another topic I can see. Just to see if it is what I have too?
