I have a question...what's an ingot/double ingot?

Nifty necklace joeager..first one I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing :-) Felicia

I've never even seen one of those, much less heard of one...it's pretty nifty...verrrrry kewl Carole! Thank you for sharing this nice piece. :-) Felicia

Wow! Very colorful Carole...no wonder they caught your eye. Thanks for sharing. :-) Felicia

LOL @ floodgates. I thought it was interesting too and I figured since my UK friend had mentioned it, why not look at ebay UK. So glad to see you are enjoying the various bottles and such...not sure how many still have marbles in them that they are selling but I did see a few. :-) Felicia

You've always got such great info Alan. Thank you for sharing this, it's nifty to see it this way. :-) Felicia

Wow!

Wow! Dunno why it makes me think of Pink Floyd-The Wall but it does. (major flashback) Thank you for showing this Alan. :-) Felicia

Hi marblemansion, Nice to meet ya. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures, they are gorgeous! Does it seem to anyone else that the colours in the 1950's ones are more vibrant? They look umm..a lil more intense on my tv screen. Sure is helpful having comparisons. :-) Felicia

You are most welcome :-) I'm sure it will help many others as well. I also googled and found this LOM Archived Article: http://www.landofmarbles.com/marbles-article023.html

I LOVE the visual aid/pic...it certainly shows the differences so as not to make a mistake. Things like this are so very helpful when looking at details. Thank you Steph :-) Felicia

Very kewl stuff happens with debris. Great marble Carole! :-) Felicia

Woahhhhh buddy! Awesome!

The glowing ones are sooooo kewl! Thanks for sharing the pics. :-) Felicia

Those are verrrrry pretty Carole. Good colors for Autumn too! :-) Felicia

Hi Wayne...Welcome in. I'm still learning what is what. It's good you posted pics in case I see anything like that. I wish you well on your search. :-) Felicia

Hey Mike, I've been through the mill on those tests, over 25 yrs, (I have crohn's disease) so if ya want someone to talk to, I'm here. I can give ya some pointers on healing better without so many drugs. Prayers are with you. Hope to see some more of your wonderful work here too! I just love looking at people's marble/glass art. :-) Felicia

Nice to meet ya Mike, sure hope you are feeling better. That test is a breeze, I've had what seems like a gazillion of'em. Very kewl jellyfish. It just never ceases to amaze me what can be artistically created in a marble. I so enjoy seeing everyone's pictures of what they have. Thanks all for sharing :-) Felicia

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! So cool Alan! I'm with Carole, this is so great to learn these things. I gotta say again...WOWWWWWWWWWWWW ..simply amazing! Woohooo...I got a limeade and now I know what it is. Thanks :-) Felicia (I think all this information would be helpful to any other newbie like me)

Yeppers... the base is what glowed brightly and the picture is what it looks like Steph. So it has that vaseline glass then huh? Verrrrrrrry kewl! :-) Felicia

Very interesting read Steph, thanks for those links. Would this be the only type of glass to cause a glowing effect on marbles? I have a greenish based marble with a darker green and white corkscrew and boy did it look bright green under the blacklight. LOL..I'm still chuckling about that 'alien green' Alan. Thank you :-) Felicia

Absolutely fantabulous! Y'all have gotten some mighty fine looking marbles. Every time I see one of these fancy ones you show here, I am amazed at the craftsmanship displayed by the artist. Sue, Great needlework..I know that is time consuming too. I crochet and cross-stitch here and there. (Just started a doily for a lil tilt table) Thanks for sharing everyone..it's great to see what's out there, even if I could never get one, it's good to see that they are going to good homes. :-) Felicia

OMG! These are amazing works of art...WOW! It's so cool to be able to see the pictures. Nearly choked on my nesquik when I saw those prices though, but with all the work put into them, there's no doubt they are worth it. Carole, that is such a pretty one you got. I Like it here, folks are friendly and helpful and don't seem to mind my various questions...even without being able to get pictures. I appreciate it too. :-) Felicia

Thank you Steph...I had wondered about their similarities. And thank you for the 'same run' advice. :-) Felicia

Say you had 5 cats eyes that had 2 yellow, 1 aqua, 2 red and then another aqua...and on the end of one side of each is the same ) mark on the glass..is that a good thing? This thread is so very helpful with the various cat's eyes. Thanks everyone! :-) Felicia
