Very nice coffins, Chad!

My haul from the Panama City Beach show...

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.

Not as common as Bumble Bees but I don't think they are too HTF.

Wow that marble's all kinds of messed up - looks really cool though. It's not a Cornhusk. It looks like some sort of banded swirl with some serious glass composition issues. It's interesting how that "mosaic fracturing" pattern seems restricted to specific areas of the marble - almost like "bands" of fractures. Crazy.

I think the color combo is pretty typical it just looks like the white ribbons are submerged under base glass a in some spots.
-
I think that is called a Gray Bee.

Jeff makes good points and I considered CAC too. But when it came down to it, I just didn't like the way the yellow striping appears to bleed white, seen best in the last photo. But then, there is a lot about this marble that is atypical so . . . ?

I do not own one of these so I am not sure. I just remembered seeing one when I was looking at tiddley winks games at some point in the past. The thing I remember most is thinking to myself, "How in the world would you flip a wink into one of those depressions"!? Here is a link to an old Ebay listing that has much better photos, including instructions.

Are these marbles for sure not one iota over 1/2"?
