  1. When you take photos for IDs, try to capture any seams or places where two colors interface on the marble. The size is often helpful too.
  2. I like to distinguish between bubble pops and bubble pop craters. They both start with bubbles, but bubble pops happen when the glass is still hot and a subsurface bubble burst - they have smooth, rounded edges. Bubble craters happen when the bubble is subsurface and is initially covered by a thin pane of glass after it cools. At some point, the pane shatters and you're left with a crater that has rough edges and a smooth, rounded bottom.
  3. Do they use the same names for the new ones? For some reason, I thought that was being discouraged to avoid confusion.
  4. Not Pelt, IMO. I think it looks like one of the newer MKs that got weird.
  5. It's new, probably one of DAS.
  6. I think it looks a lot like one of these Marble Kings.
  7. The best info you will find here is probably this thread. There is much more info at AAM.
  8. Nice color - creased pontil Seike.
  9. Creased pontil - Seike.
  10. In general, this is what you're looking for. . . Pinch pontil - Yasuda Crease pontil - Seike
  11. Absolutely - kind of a wild one, cool!
  12. Nice marble, Fire. It looks like a Jewel to me.
  13. I think Ravenswood too - sorta drizzly.
  14. In this case, but not always. 🙂
  15. I'm pretty sure I saw more of them in that haul so you might find a better one.
  16. Ric

    Jabo?

    Not JABO, maybe Ravensood.
  17. That's a great find. You'll have all kinds of fun sorting those. I see more Japanese transitionals in there . . .
  18. I'd have a hard time calling it American.
  19. I think Vitro is a good bet - just a patch.
