When the white striping glass dips below the surface of the transparent colored base glass it can appear to be colored, which color depends on the base glass and how far beneath the surface the white striping glass is.

I think Ron is referring to: The World of Cat's Eye Marbles by Elizabeth A. Kempski (2020)

Yes, we call them Jorkscrews, the quality of the spiral varies condiderably.
-
Yes, A Lime Ade - one of several types Akro marketed as Moss Agates.
-
That's a nice selection of styles, Al. Thanks for posting them. Is the insert on the second one "Rules of the Game"?
-
I'm reevaluating the middle one. I don't think it's Vitro. Looks a lot like Akro Lifesaver colors and given the Liberty (looks dug) next to it, I think there is a good chance it's just a weird (likely dug) one. -
I think it's more likely an oddly-structured Akro patch, although, it could be an oddly-structured "lazy" Akro Corkscrew. Might be best just to say it's an Akro. 🙂
-
Nice snag, Joep. The pin-wheel design on the poles is attractive.
-
That's some good information and a great comparison photo - thanks for posting it, Jeff!
-
Two Vitros with a MK Rainbow Red in the middle - unfortunately, no Aquamarine. Here are some Aquamarine variants for comparison . . .
-
That is a rare (at least VHTF) Ravenswood Solar Flare on the left in the OP - a keeper, for sure. And that's an An Akro Liberty on the right, and a nice Vitro patch & ribbon in the center.
-
Akro Corkscrews. The first just has a big fold in it that deforms the corkscrew pattern.
-
I agree with Chad on the OP. Rick's looks like a sweet Scott Patrick creation.
-
I'm about 98% Kokomo on the first, FWIW.
-
By definition, shooters are 3/4" marbles, anything above that is a boulder, and true size is still important. I think the three you're showing are nice JABO Classics.
-
No need to be sorry - it's probably just me. 🙂
-
Welcome here! You came to the right place. Unfortunately, your pics are a bit too blurry for me - you may have gotten a little too close with camera. It's also important to show us both "seams" on each marble - you got the idea on the blue/white one
-
Sorta overload for this OG. You'll make me a lot happier with no more than 4 marbles per post. The green-base is a CAC swirl. Are the "shooters" 3/4"? I'll try to get back to the others later.🙂
-
Pretty TriLite, I think.
-
I think the first is an Alley from St. Mary's and the second is MK, i.e., William's got it.
-
I think it's a Pelt Rainbo with that top ribbon flipped over to the other side. If you look real close with a magnifier, I'll bet the color on the top ribbon originates on the opposite side of the seam from where it lies.
-
It looks like a WV Swirl with a big fold in it to me.
-
I think there is a real good chance of Kokomo on the fourth marble in your OP, Melissa, maybe the 5th too. The rest look mostly Peltier to me, although there might be another Kokomo hiding in there too. Do any of them react to UV?
