    It's 41/64 inches and has enough color variation and pattern that I wouldn't call it a game marble.

    See if it reacts to UV light; Jabo also used Fenton UV rose glass.

    I wouldn't know if it is part of a run, with that amber color There has been a jabo run with a pink similar to yours, and it is called 'pink flamingo,' and it is very valuable, but it does not have a base or amber part, it contains only oxblood. It was a run called jabo'Peltier Mansion' which also included marbles with silver...but maybe I'm digressing too much. Here is the pink flamingo with ox

    No light will pass through an opaque base marble while translucent is almost transparent (Clear). Translucent (semi opaque) light will pass through but the glass base is not transparent (Hazy). Transparent is completely clear no matter the base color you can see clear through it.

    Well, opaque is any color where no light passes through at all, not even with a very strong flashlight Translucent is like op, where light passes through, without being completely transparent

    It can also have different shades and even turn black, if it has been kept in the oven furnace a long time

    OP 's have no ox, these all have oxblood. Oxblood is almost 100 percent of the time completely Opaque when backlit, no light passes through. Nearly all oxblood is surface also, though there are examples where it dives in and out of the matrix of the marble. Diving ox examples these are Jabo's

    Being made of mineral stone, it is considered more of a decorative sphere rather than a real marble.

    Hi

    Welcome, this is the place to learn. Great people too.

    I'm going to guess it is a dug Ravenswood Opaque Swirl. I say this because of the way the swirls just drop off into the marble and Ravenswood can sometimes have a couple flame tips.

    Just some snow--cool to watch and experience a "Blizzard" though. I have seen five or six Blizzards in my life—my wife and I met during one—we got stuck—lol. Wisconsin is a very cool state to live in! Marble--On!!

    I will always look at marbles over a carpet or a bath towel, I drop them all the time--yes, I am a "clod" when it comes to handling marbles. I drop them all of the time. I just found my little buddy Obi ( a Pug) chewing on one that I lost a few weeks ago--Good boy!--no damage done. Glass to glass does not matter much if it is gentle--as in a jar of them. Marble--On!!

    Types like this are very difficult to ID but I think at that size, it's probably a JABO or maybe DAS.
