Shooter size. All from the same find. 5 of them have internal fracturing, a couple of those are quite bad. However none of the fractures reach he surface. It's all in the vanes. All 1"+

P.S The shooter transparent ones are also a real tough find. I have a single green one, a single blue one and a single lavender one. That's all. No junkers or crappie ones either.

LOL RED!!! I have several dozen of the opaque red ones, but a transparent red one is as hard to find as it comes. In 15 years I have only had one. Second rarest would be true pink, I have had 4. Sorry no red or pink here. I'll try harder.

Intresting collecting tip though if anyone cares. As you can see in the pic Transparent Transitionals are somewhat commonish. The pic shows what I consider to be "select" examples. Nice 9's and in real good condition. I have an equal amount in the "not so select" pile. They have a poorer 9 but still in great condition. Then there is the "junker" pile that are below near mint, once again about he same amount. Then there is the "crappie" pile that have ended up in the tub with the catseyes and mangled stuff. I lost count of those. about twice the amount as seen in the pic at least. So lots and lots of transparent trannies out there.

However the pic below shows the total number of opaque examples I have found. Shooter size ones and one single regular size green example??? Not to sure what to think of that? The shooters have all come from the same source. The little guy was all alone in a random seperate group. I am not counting the opaque white and red ones in this observation as they are in random groups from time to time. It has me wondering where they all are?

If you multiply them up.

Some Euro action.

OOps was that you that I was running the bid up on. They contacted me about this marble. Did'nt want it but whoever did was going to have to pay for it. Sorry!

Corkscrew handmade something?

Just some sparkle for your day.

Well I was sort of close. What do you think would this one count? Crappy pics sorry, just pointed and clicked. Thanks for the pic.

Just to compaire to a find today

Couple of Funky Monkeys

Yep I did. All's good. Little hmmmm on the ox, yellow and white if it were from different group. But all were same group, so all ok.

My Marble Minions

Bottom left is mine. Combines my like of handmades. With my love of Corks. It will be the first handmade I have ever kept. Pretty funky huh.

I'm tempted to pluck the marble off the cane to see if it was made for it or not. Dealers will stick anything on a stick and call it cane.

I would think you would be allowed to bid. Not sure though? we will see. If you would like to help out post here and in the morning I will run a bunch of listings with links. Thanks all who are willing to get me going.

P.S the biggest marble is 7/8"

LOL I'm working on it. I need 10 feedback until I can sell Internationally. Who's willing to screw ebay and do a buy it now on a .99 catseye? There would be no marble coming your way, and you would not have to pay for anything but I could get a feedback.

Yep good old Canadian Nightcrawlers. However I am in the U.K. until spring. Weirdly they call thier worms here Canadian Nightcrawlers???

4 am is a silly time to have to get up. Worth it today though.

Super cool !

All my drawers only have my nickers in them lol. Picking up this English slang. I also just got a tall set of drawes and have been stuffing them with marbles. Nothing like the ones your showing (holy crap!!!) But filling up with lots of little Handmades and Euro stuff. Will get some pics. Keep the pics of those seriously wicked handmades coming I can't get enough of them.

Gotta go with ???????

If .855 is a tad under 15/16" I second the Euro vote. I have a handful that size. The purple is commonish to this type. Roger named these Whisplers/Wisplers a few years back.

Long gone but still a neat one. Will get pics of some I found this month on friday.

I'm in Gloucester right now if you need stuff to be I.Ded

Thanks for the replies. I know diddley about minerals.
