I agree with Alley for the last one and it certainly is flamey. But whether it or not it qualifies as a full fledged Flame might depend on who is looking at at. I like the first one and am leaning slightly Ravenswood but it's pretty unusual and might be something else. The others are giving me Heaton vibes but I'll have to think about them some more too. I sure wish I could see the whole marble in each of your shots.

I'm leaning Ravenswood on this one too.

I'm on the fence between Alley and Ravenswood, but I'm leaning toward Alley.

This is sort of a tough one, and I could really go either way. I think it would be a little different for either maker. Darker blue, more coverage and brighter red in the patch than usual for Master, and more striation in the patch than usual for Akro, but seams that look quite a bit more Akro than Master, at least to me - pretty nice marble either way.

When it comes down to it, I think Akro's Moonies are just white Flinties, also packaged as Fire Opals.

Crazy cool pattern on that Tiger Eye, Dave.

Ha, my membership lapsed. I plan to re-up at the show. Historically, they have had one of the best newsletters going.

I have been quite a few times and plan to be there next week too.

@Joe2 Are you planning to go to the WVMCC Show?

Oh yeah, it's a Cat's Eye and from what I can see, it looks Asian to me.

A lot of the response at a given wavelength depends on the fluorophore and other compounds in the glass that might quench it.

The reflections are making the structure of this one really hard to discern.

I still want to see another seam . . .

I think another view or two might turn the third into an Akro or maybe a Master.

I could see a slag with none of the white on the surface.

Opals are some of my favorites - very nice.

The Exotic Conqueror is very nice!

This looks mostly Vitro to me but it might be something else, like Marble King or Akro. It looks like a bit of contaminating glass or debris got into it - whatever it is doesn't really look metallic to me but I can't see it that well in the photos, either.

Yes, a Wales type, and one of the nicest I've seen. And just in case it wasn't a typo, no "d" in aventurine.

I can easily see CAC on the left one - the right one a bit less so but I do think CAC is a good possibility.

A few relatives here, I think . . .

The upper left is a CAC slag, IMO - not sure about the others, they may be slags too.

I'd say JABO on the right and the left looks like a good possibility but I am not entirely sure about that one.

Bill McCaleb is the only person who has ever seen the entire contents of that case. Of course, I've shown lots of the marbles individually here. They are mostly just more common types - I don't keep high dollar marbles in there. And if you want to see what's in my drawers you might have to buy me dinner first - I'm not that easy.

If the base is translucent when you backlight them I think some folks would call them muddies - they may even have a more particular name.
