You sure do take great pics, Gladys!
-
Minty fresh, nice ones!
-
I'm going to go in a little different direction for my Sunday best today. A reverse Jasper, just over 3/4" . . . I really like this marble - not too easy to find.
-
That is a great piece, thanks for showing it!
-
Dang brother, that's a sweet marble! I have one around here somewhere but I think the base is a lot milkier than yours - beautiful mib!
-
Jabo or Alley is my guess too.

I'm with Art - Pelt Rainbo.
-
I'm thinking Ravenswood.
-
I think we're talking about the same thing. And I am really on the fence about this one - I could see it being an odd Akro too.
-
These are great!
-
This is very nice. Thank you for sharing it. It's interesting to me that the finger notch in the wooden header apparently doesn't go all the way through it.
-
And I'll bet you're right!
-
The spiral is really nice, WIlliam! The second one looks a lot like a Vitro Tiger Eye to me.
-
I think Akro and Master both made the blue on yellow combo. I also think you can tell them apart. But, of course, I could be wrong.
-
I don't think a bit of striping or 'swirling' in a Peerless patch is all that uncommon.
-
I think of wire-pulls as having more distinct striping, and usually just one or maybe a couple of stripes wandering through the matrix. Yours would be transparent swirls in my world.
-
Quite a few of these can be found in Champion Jr. poly bags.
-
That's what I thought too - to me, it looks like a melted pontil with a chip out of it.

Happy Ground Hog Day--show your best from the ground

And I am forever grateful to Ron, Nola and Bill for inviting me to dig for a couple of days. It was the thrill of a lifetime, for sure!

Here are some Royal colors . . . I found the blue and orange ones in my Dad's 'treasure box' when he passed away.
-
Great marble, Dave. But I'm not quite sure what to call it - maybe a Moss Agate?
-
That is a beautiful group of Lime Ades, Gladys!
-
Man, Chad - that's a sweet marble, sorta hard to believe they used them to fill a French drain. It seems to me a lot of kids would have been very happy to have it!
-
A few more simple swirls . . . the middle on is in pretty rough shape though.
-
You are welcome, Dave. Do you see how the striping looks 'striated' (like someone dragged a fork through it) where it interacts with the base glass on the inside of the marble? And how the end of the stripe in the first pic looks 'jagged' (or sort of of flamey)? Those are CAC traits that you really don't see too often on similar Alleys.
