25 Champion Agates Mesh Bag

I was happy to find this 20 count Penny King bag with Champion Agates, including a few metallic marbles.

It seemed like this thread could use another pic.

You must like the one in the center of that last shot. But what about overhead transparencies - remember those? lol

I think 'calligraphy' started out as a way to describe a characteristic trait of many Alley marbles. It seems to have evolved over time to exclude many less busy examples.

I don't know for sure but if calligraphy is a type of pattern and not a specific color combination it doesn't make much sense why it would be - it is a different glass than used for the striping.

I think about a pattern well defined, intersecting lines, which resemble fine handwriting. How busy the pattern gets is dependent on the number and length of the lines. I think there almost has to be significant wiggle room in the definition. How would you define it . . . an average of seven lines intersecting no fewer than four times per cubic centimeter over at least 60% of the marble's surface? lol

I think I see what Galen sees. It looks like the second seam is buried deep in the fold but . . .?

No name that I know of, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I mean, if there's going to be controversy around here, I would just as soon you start it.

Hey Steph, I'm not sure I know what a calligraphy is. What do you think?

just a pic . . .

Any AV in the fizz? And does anyone have an example of a Green Sunset? I have heard of them but don't know if I have seen one, since I can't put the name to a marble.

The colors and structure are nice. The orange peel is crazy.

It's cool. I'd have it with my Alleys.

Nice!

It's a cool effect.

Peculiar, no idea who might have made it.
