Wow this thread is moving along fast.Here are some of my Irish Rainbo's.Lots of chunky aventurine

I don't have any Last Dance marbles ,so I'm in.

I have consistently done better buying groups as opposed to one at a time.

There it is ,in the middle of all those aventurine marbles.Dumb luck

I liked it when I got that powder blue aventurine zebra and forty-one other aventurine marbles for less than $30.00 including shipment.I didn't even notice the color at auction,just bid and thought it was a good gamble.It's my new fav marble.I call it baby-blue....

Found some nice ones yesterday at an antique store.I've gotten some good stuff off ebay recently but not anything too expensive.It's a good time to go thru the old stuff and find somthin'.Like that yellow hand gathered slag I found the other day.It's been there for years and I hadn't discovered it.Got too see everything with a fresh eye.Bo

There must be more orange marbles out there

I think your lavender slag is very rare,I have one similar to yours ,it's in my top box.Great mib.Bo

Hey!,did you find any fingers in there?Great marbles,and pics.Bo

Wow!! great stuff! It is amazing what can be found when we look.Thanks for the pics.I like the blue and cream/orange pelt.Bo

Thanks Andrea for those pics,those are Beautiful! Sue yes,very cool marbles yellow, green ,blue and warm it up a little with some oxblood.I would like to see your trannies if you have time.Bo

One more pic,having fun with my camera while the sun is shining,suppoesed to rain today.

Doe's George collect marbles?Show us what ya got.Bo

Bob,I had to count so got a pic while I was at it.Funny story,I thought I had three but what happened was!?! I bid on the bay at the last minute and put in $2222.00 as my bid,WOW!!YIKES!!.I figuered I had it covered but what if some other marble psyhco acciddently put in $2220.00? so I went back and rebid,and too late someone else got a steal!!Was that you?? Bo

A few more simple beauties

Hey Bob ,I totally agree with you on this."Art is simple"a friend once told me and I must agree.The other trait your marble has that makes it great is a large amount of pure white to set off the green aventurine.I like it.Bo

Great pics Steph.The only way I can get good pics of aventurine is in full sunlight which has been in short supply till just this weekend.Imperials from China,interesting.They sure are pretty ,aventurine 360 degrees ,cool colors and the price was right.Looking at your pics I think I need to go thru my stuff again,I have passed alot of those types by.Thanks again for the info.Bo

Thanks, I see the difference now,mine is an egg.Still my enthusiasm is irreversable because the Steelers won! That was a really great game.Bo

Alan,when I started this thread I imagined you would have a gallon bag full of footballs,guess they are rare.Really great lookin football!!,Thanks Bo

Edna, So if I understand you correctly?David has the good stuff and gives them as gifts to his freinds to be sold privately?And the least favorite marbles get sold on ebay.So If I just wait a little or alot longer, maybe some of the really good stuff will be on ebay? after the mill run stuff is gone?Sure would like to see some pictures of Jabo's with five colors of aventurine,can you do that?I can just imagine what they look like but really would like to see the real thing.Bo

Thanks for your insight RAR.These could be Master glass?I thought they might have been Mexican, I'm just collecting anything that's Vintage aventurine ,Bo

Sure could be

Bob,are the specks on your marble aventurine,if so they may be related.Bo

Just so there is no confusion the marble to the right in this picture would be what most people would consider a blue zebra.White base with blue aventurine.Bo

Not all marbles have a name,maybe they don't need one .These remind me of green melons in summer.Bo
