  1. Nah - that's purple. 🙂
  2. That pinkish base and chunky AV is the tell.
  3. Here is an Opal Chad posted in the past - see that orange opalescent glow at the bottom of the marble? That's what you're looking for. Yours may not be as pronounced as his is.
  4. I can see whay you might think Vitro - it does look a lot like a new style All Red with some extra color (blue) but it doesn't look quite right to me and I wonder about foreign (not American) possibilities.
  5. Might be a Vacor Sunset.
  6. Not Peltier. It looks a lot like a Vitro Opal to me. Do you see an orange opalescent glow if you weakly backlight it?
  7. Not a Peltier. I'm pretty sure it's from a JABO contract run. I think @Fire1981 will know which one - I forget.
  8. It looks more like an odd little coreless swirl to me. I'm not seeing what most would consider a lattice.
  9. This is a pretty one - an Alley is my thinking.
  10. Welcome aboard! That is a Seike crease "pontil" transitional (hand gathered and machine rounded) marble from Japan. One of my favorite colors too. 🙂
  11. I think Akro too. IMO, the interesting thing about these marbles is that they are basically slags - white with a yellow/amber base glass.
  12. You should be sure. 😉
  13. Just a couple of Billy's good Sparklers . . . His pics too.
  14. @disco005 Super nice tight spiral on that yellow auger!
  15. It doesn't look Master to me - foreign is my guess. And there are some really odd reflections coming off of whatever you had it sitting on that are really messing with the detail on the lower half of the marble, regardless of which photo you look at.
  16. This is just like that marble you posted the other day. I thought then, and I do again, that this is not an American marble.
  17. Vitro, but not a Superior - they have those red ribbons surrounding a yellow patch.
  18. I know I have one of these somewhere - I'll have to look to see how I identified it. Might be Vitro, but the colors would be pretty unusual, I think. It's really an interesting marble.
  19. The only other reasonable possibility I can come up with is that it is an unusually poorly constructed CAC striped transparent, probably dug - I could see it, I suppose.
  20. These all look like Alley Agates to me, but it's usually helpful to know the sizes for a proper ID too. And just a reminder, you are showing way more background than marbles, which is not in any way helpful and it drives up the cost for contributors to maintain the site. 🙂
  21. I'm all in with JABO at this point.
  22. I guess you're just looking for some discussion . . . ? AFAIK, What people call a Panda today would be better described as a Blue Panda, since they have white stripes on an opaque or translucent blue base. Some old NLR marbles that had white stripes on an opaque Black base were also referred to as Pandas. Skunks also have white stripes on a "black" base but they are later Rainbos (not NLRs). Zebras, on the other hand, are NLRs that have black stripes on a white base (and they often have aventurine). Your bottom marble in your first pic may well be a Blue Panda.
  23. AFAIK, Peltier Dragons, flaming or not, are on a green base, so I don't think this marble is a Dragon of any sort. I do agree it's a nice marble though. 🙂
  24. I definitely thought about JABO for this one too and it certainly could be - it would just be one that I don't recognize, but I surely haven't seen them all.
