It's a Peltier Raiinbo - no oxblood.

Leafy Green Colored Cateye With Much Aventurine

I think Marble King. -
Master, IMO.
-
El Aguila is still what I see. This kind of business is part of the reason why. That sort of thing is not Akro, IMO
-
It gives me a JABO vibe, perhaps a contract run.
-
Maybe a Vacor Firefighter?

Just calling out @Nantucketdink before this post gets buried.

That is a Peltier Rainbo.

There's on of those "kids" now!

I think it's an Alley Agate swirl. Slags have white striping glass in a clear or colored transparent base.
-
I am not seeing Akro. I think it might be an old Asian marble - perhaps Japanese.
-
I don't think it's ugly at all, pretty cool in my eyes. sorta looks hand-gathered - I wonder if it's Akro.
-
Alley Coral from what I see.
-
I'm thinking Jackson now. It looks like there is some of that dirty white vitrolite glass in the base - does it glow?

My thought is Cairo but I've never seen one with AV.

I've been playing with Jake's JABO collection lately and came upon something I am not used to seeing on Classics - a reflective mirror-like finish. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. It's a little hard to detect in the photos for some reason but it's really obvious in hand. These sure look like the same marbles with or without the "mirror" finish that you see on the outer two - he had those in a bag apart from the others. You might best be able to detect the difference by looking at the light reflections on the marbles. The small one is a 1/2" peewee. The others are 9/16" to just under 5/8". Does anyone know about these "mirrored" types. It sure looks like Dave sprayed some of them. I am guessing they aren't too common but I really have no idea. Any thoughts will be appreciated!

@Mister408 I agree with Fire - they're amber colored (they can look a bit more yellow where the white is just below the surface) and the first one looks like a two-seam CAC slag. The second one looks Akro to me.
-
@Meep Like most wise people, I rarely question Dink's JABO IDs, but if you look into the orange patch on the right one and see a crevice at the bottom, I'd stick with JABO - just my opinion, of course.

The first one reminds me of a CAC American Agate - do you see anything that looks like a cut-off? The second looks mostly Champion to me and the last two strike me as Heaton.
