Joep posted these not too long ago . . .

His description of cracking and fragmenting grinding stones is pretty harrowing. I hadn't thought about that before but I sure wouldn't want to anywhere around when it happened - yikes! -
There are some Aquamarines here.
-
Aqua, it's not so uncommon on those older types. That one's getting close to what is called an Aquamarine.
-
That's a Conqueror - they can get wonky when they get bigger
-
Yeah, I really have no idea what it is. All I can think of is Vacor or maybe Asian.
-
If it's American, I might be able to see MK but not Vitro.
-
is this a nice big "phantom conqueror". .94 inches!

Conquerors have the white veneered on the surface of the marbles. The white in Phantom Conquerors is stringy and inside the base glass, like this one. -
That is a really cool bubble, almost looks like it was blown in. And the reflections of the ribbons on it are neat too.
-
Carrying fossilized poop around is a little different than carrying marbles but I can see why you would if it's from your Grandfather. Oddly enough, my wife's Grandfather gave me a coprolite he found on his Illinois farm long ago. But it's too big for pocket talisman. I've got my magic bean for that.

It's a little sloppy - tough to make out the seams.

I agree. -
I think it's probably foreign.
-
Maybe I should have added, " . . . away from my marbles and photos." It's not like I'm stuck and I can't get out. 😆

Show your Cats eyes---or other pets--LOL

Who . . . Me? Great looking pooch. 😆 -
Sometime after 1958, not earlier ones from St. Mary's.
-
I think it's a nice example of a Pennsboro Alley.
-
It's a patch, a veneered Victory-style marble, at least. I think old-timers may have referred to them as "Spots" but that term is no longer used as far as I know. It's probably older than the more common Victorys.
-
Yes, a Tiger Eye - looks to be opaque Type IV.
-
There can be AV in these types. I don't know if there is in your marble, but I'd recommend looking for it in the green.
-
Maybe Vacor but the pics are a little too small and out of focus for me to see much detail.
-
I think it might be an Ace with a base that's just a little different - maybe a tiny bit of blue streaking in there, but not a Prizename.
-
Yes, it's a Type I.
