Picked this up at an antique store yesterday

That's a borderline rude thing to say, since you are talking to people who are trying to help you. Why would someone not want your marble to be guinea? If you don't want honest responses, I recommend you not ask for ID help. -
I know that both blue and green AV was used and, if I recall properly, some had four colors.
-
Nice one, Dave. I have a couple of similar ones somewhere but they are not easy to find.

The seams are usually obvious too . . . Guinea photos from @MARBLEMISER -

They are modern marbles made by hand with a torch. -

Torch marble, perhaps Chinese, IMO. -
Not a PPP. I think Akro or maybe Master.
-
If there are hints of blue in it I would say Ravenswood. Nice marble.
-
If it appears a little more toward salmon colored in hand I would say Ravenswood.
-
The top ones look the most Heaton to me. Lower left might be Ravenswood and the lower right might be Alley, but I think some of these could go a few directions.
-
They look Alley to me, and I would try 0000 (super fine) steel wool on the rust.

This could be related to the intensity (amount) of light being emitted from the different sources and not necessarily the wavelength.

I agree.
-
Alley is my take on it.

The OP is already in the Study Hall, Art . . .

I agree with Champion.
-
That is really interesting. Do you know if it was just decorative or if it had a particular use?
-
That's a great box and hard to find.
-
A couple of my all time favorites!
-
Looks like an Asian imperial type to me.
-
Well, there is everything from soup to nuts in this lot, which spans many, many, years of marble production. All I can say is that I hope you find some good ones!

@Fire1981 I've been pondering these for a while, narrowing things down in my mind. Does the white on any of them glow?
-
You're on track, left and lower are Buttermilk variants and the upper is a Superior. The best Buttermilks have less white showing but these are really great marbles, regardless.
-
Huh, I didn't even notice the blue until I enlarged the photo - i was thinking it was base showing through white or something - you know how it can look sometimes. It still looks foreign to me, I don't recognize it as anything American.
