I have an intriguing marble that I could use some help with. It is 3/4" with what I would call electric orange in various shades. The marble has a clear interior and can be viewed into. Melted air holes and the colors are reminiscent of Christensen Agate. Any ideas?

Some different lighting with a white or contrasting background might help.

In the meantime, clear base with orange swirl is a CAC combo.

From what I can see I'd agree with Steph, and better pics with contrasting background would go a long way towards a better ID.

Thank you for your suggestions. I have taken some more shots under different lighting and background. Unfortunately, there is some dust floating around as well, but this is the best I can do for now. Don't know whether this helps any or not. I have never heard the term "combo" used before in connection with C/A. Steve

By "combo" I just meant that the combination of clear base and orange swirl could be Christensen.

Could the base be transparent orange.

It's a very busy marble, but I have one spot where I can see clearly through it, and it is clear.
