Cool looking swirls but I won't guess who made them - they give me a bit of a foreign vibe though.

As far as I can tell it's just an oddity, and there is no way to know who made it.

I agree with the others that you deserve many thanks for "keeping this show on the road". I have thought about the burden on resources of hosting all these photos and I try to never upload the same image here twice. I just go to my attachments and copy the image I uploaded earlier to insert it in a new post. Some systems have algorithms that will prevent the same image from being stored more than once on a server but I don't know if such a system operates here.

Akro marketed some of it's opalescent marbles, sometimes referred to as "Flinties" as "Fire Opals". The "Opal" associated with Vitro is a collector's name and the multi-color marbles are very different than the Akros. A search here will turn up many examples of both types.

Hmmm, no JABO I've seen before. Unless I am missing something, it looks like a transparent game marble with a bonus. Are there any detectable seams?

Nice, Rick!

Very nice coffins, Chad!

Nice, that's quite an assortment, Chuck - something for everyone. A few stick out like a sore thumb for me. The newspapers are great too.

Nice snag, Brad. Is the base on this one translucent or opaque?

Thanks, Dave. The only real Parrot is the middle one. The outer two have colors veneered on clear transparent base glass - sort of like a 4-color Tiger Eye. Chuck B. called them "Vienna Parrots".

It's a Navarre Horizontal Swirl.

It's a typical Conqueror with a "V"-shaped patch but not a fancy or exotic, and while the OP marble is a Vitro, it's not a typical Conqueror - looks like a variation on the theme though.

It's definitely cool looking. Do you know who made it?

I agree, the sulfide looks real to me too - what size is it?

Thanks for playing whack-a-bot Chad!

It is pretty difficult to find a comprehensive list but there is a pretty good one at the Marble Collector's Society of America.

Does the base glow green under UV?

Could be one of a few different makers IMO.

Not entirely sure but it's giving me a Vacor vibe.
