It's an obvious scam . . .

I wonder if they started with a thinner cane and somehow mushed it in and out to make a larger glob but then rounding the mass seems like it would have been pretty tricky - it's a real stumper. Regardless, given the rarity of these types it seems like something not just any craftsman could do - it must have required significant and specialized skill.
-
No kidding, I would have thought they were hand-gathered.
-
Wow, those are great, and not made by newbies, that's for sure - amazing craftsmanship on both!
-
@Steph Thanks for the response. Those are my thoughts too. I checked Elizabeth's book @Pinx pretty carefully and didn't see anything about three color MK Cross-throughs. I do know that she checks in here occasionally so maybe she'll be kind enough to share her thoughts the next time she drops in.
-
I agree with a MK and two Vitros.
-
-
Does anyone know how common they are - like the center marble, for example? Any other examples to share?
-
It's really hard to see the seams here, Avaa, but they don't look like MKs to me, unless they are newer ones that I am not familiar with. They look more like Master Cloudy or maybe Akro Moss Agate variants to me.
-
Some older styles . . . I have no idea what their names might be . . .

Looks like an Alley and a Vitro to me too.
-
There are all kinds of great examples in the "Slags and Swirls Saturday" thread - - just sayin'.

Only a few older ash trees have survived on my property. I've probably lost 50-75 of them and I've already cut up eight 60-80 footers that fell into the yard or over my access roads this year. The only upside is that I have plenty of good firewood . . .

Nice two seam slag - German would be my guess. And the grape purple color is great but my bet is that it's been enhanced some.
-
I've always liked the marble shooter logo on these - I've got it on poly bags too.
-
That's a great peachy color!
-
Just a Vitro Hybrid Cat's Eye. And that's a nice little solid core you posted up earlier too!

@Chad G. Wow, I like yours way better!
-
@Fire1981 Nice marbles, at over 35 years old, that Laubs from 1986 has got to be one of his earlier ones. @Chad G. Very nice Tiger!

It's easy to see why, Tommy. It's an unusual example and very cool. It'd be with my keepers, for sure!
-
Very cool, Rick - I'm glad you finally found one you like! I have never really been into sulfides but I do have two elephants that I purchased over the years, and that's enough for me.
