carole154 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I like some Vitros really well. Biggest is just shy of 3/4. Not mint but really nice. They are "winging" their way to me. carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carole154 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 LOL Steph. I seldom ever come to my senses. But if the rare occasion arises I will remember you want these non pelts. carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Carole - those two look-alikes (mother/daughter) marbles, are they Parrots? They sure look like it from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Nice 'parakeets' - not big enough for Parrots and pretty Black Eye Pea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carole154 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 What is the yardstick for parrots, Al? carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 According to the folks that actually made them 3/4plus to be a Parrot. Peace,Galen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 3/4plus Just checking: is the plus needed? would 3/4" be okay? update: Ron wrote this at LOM: Parrots-again,what Blaine Lemon told me. He was Vitro plant manager and parrots were his favorite marble. He always had them in his bib overall pockets. Blaine said his goal was a 1 inch four color marble not including white,but 100% coverage did not always happen. Some would have the white base showing. Some parrots are patch pattern and some in the bigger sizes are swirl pattern. Some will have white and some will not. Many people include white as one of the colors (thats fine with me). For me a good parrot will show no white and have 4 colors. Sizes range from 3/4 to 1 inch. If the green has aventurine that is another plus. The parakeets are the same type marble,same colors,most all patch type,same looks,just smaller size 5/8-9/16-11/16. The is not much mistake about id of a good parrot or parakeet. (source) While I'm updating, here in Post #4 is another nice quote from Ron which talks about the numbers of colors on parrots. Also talks about good stuff like aventurine. Vitro multi color marbles - Are these Parrots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
