It's a little hard to discern the base glass from your photo and it is not a Kokomo that I recognize as obvious from personal experience so I would be hesitant to call it one.
-
I agree.
-
Cool one, Art! What does it look like in there? lol
-
Swirl . . .
-
Actually, I messed up (but now fixed) the secure link in my last post. As I suspected though, the migration is not yet complete.
-
Here is mine . . . it's sort of a Lucite tiger eye type of material.
-
You thank me now, but sometime soon, after the site migrates, you'll probably have to use the https://joemarbles.marbleconnection.com/ link to get there.
-
I think that Joe's site hasn't completed migration yet. You can still get it at http://joemarbles.marbleconnection.com/ though

I also like the ones Pete Caparelli had made much more recently for Land of Marbles, which is no longer active since Pete retired. I got a bunch and gave them away to the children of friends. Although, I have no clear idea about how marbles like this are produced.
-
I do, my understanding is that many were given to Samsonite salesmen as some sort of a token of appreciation or a reminder to be kind while on duty . . . or something.

First, I think ya'll need to go back to bed for another 10-14 hours - it's not Tuesday yet! But now that's out of my system, the yellow looks a bit more like a bleed out of the red/orange rather than a separate color, and I also agree that the structure looks a bit more like a typical Rainbo than an NLR.

Haahaa!
-
They're kinda cool, and my first take is that they look like they are not American made, and I think they are usually referred to as "gems".
-
Last night the site apparently migrated to a new server that is secure. The new address is https: instead of http: I think that is all that changed.
-
I have always liked this marble . . . it's sort of like MK's version of an American Agate.
-
Tricolors, as simple as they are, still look nice in a group . . . Has anyone ever seen a typical Tricolor where the equatorial ribbons are not blue and green, is it only the patch color that varies? I guess I have seen purple and yellow, but they're pretty unusual.
-
I'm thinking MFC.
-
Just FYI, the pattern on Cairos is usually limited to one side of the marble and transparent striping is usually bubbly. Also, be sure to check out the "Mostly Pics" threads in Steph's Study Hall section of the forum for examples. 👍
-
DId you notice I edited my previous post to say that I think Cairo might be a better bet for that 3rd one? And yes, that wandering "puzzle piece" sort of pattern is not uncommon on Cairos or Heatons.
-
The last one is often referred to as an MFC tornado - for obvious reasons.
-
Maybe, Alley, but I could see Heaton too.
-
I don't think it would qualify as a Copperhead.
-
This is a dandy marble!
-
Left looks more Ravenswood to me and the right might be Cairo or Heaton.
