I think the "Marine Crystals" were Peltiers. Regardless, I think that may have been a name targeting the aquarium market. I'm pretty sure they were packaged under other names too. I hadn't thought about this topic for a while. 🙂 The Vitros were "Marine Gems" (not Marine Crystals) and they were targeted to the aquarium market. They also packaged clearies as "Aqua Jewels" and "Exotic Glass Gems". Ravenswood put clearies in Buddy bags. Akro packaged "Glassies".

That's a great color combination . . .

It has to be UV reactive and should have some AV too, I think . . . Not mine.

It's probably just me, but I would want the marble to have more "pink" than blue and have better defined and wider "stripes" - like Rick's marble without any white.

Highly unlikely in my estimation . . .

I think some people would call it a Naked Berry Pink. Myself, I have always held some reservation about these particular marbles.

It's kinda crazy but I think Pelt too.

It does look corky but it looks like a Heaton to me, at 1/2" though . . . ? Hmmmm.

@akroorka Very unusual color combination, Art - dare I say rare? Sweet marble, for sure.

I'm leaning Ravenswood over Alley.

My view today - harvest time. 🚜 ❤️

More Alleys, IMO.

All Alley, IMO.

Alley, IMO.

In the first and last photos, the one on the left is a Vitro Conqueror variant and the one on the right looks mostly like a Marble King to me but not entirely sure - it's an interesting marble. The second photo looks like a CAC or maybe Alley, another view or two might help. The third and fourth photos look like an Akro, IMO.

Pretty sure those are odd Vitro Yellow Jackets on the right. Maybe a Trilite on the left.

I am very sorry to hear this. Pete did a lot for the marble collecting community, and I extend my most sincere condolences to his family and all who loved him.

I think, maybe, but it's borderline. The thing that can complicate the ID is that Bullseyes should have a different color surrounding the top patch and sometimes there is a more or less clear area surrounding the top patch that can give the illusion of another color. Here are some Bullseyes for comparison . . .

I could see a Champion game marble too, but yeah, not much to go on . . .

The green one in the center is Akro. The only other one that may not be a Conqueror is the "black" one just lower left of that, but I think there is a good chance it's Vitro too.

It's a little different but I'd have the OP with my Paltier Rainbos - no Vitro colors that I am familiar with.

Yes, these are Vitro - the "other Blackies". Are they calling them "Reverse Blackies" now? It does make some sense. They are not what have traditionally been called "Anti-Blackies".

I'm thinking CAC for this one too - kinda looks hand-gathered, but I have seen Ravenswoods with similar colors and UV reactivity too.

I love to see marble innards! And I'm still thinking CAC.

I agree with Steph, it's a modern reproduction, and Akro did not screen print a Tom Mix marble.
