I'm going with Imperial here.

Well, I wasn't sure on the first one, but I'm not a CAC person so I didn't want to cast doubt without reason.

What does it look like backlit?

*sputter*

I'm just not getting a handle on whether we're looking at a bunch of Jabos or maybe a bunch of Champs, so I will wait for someone else to chime in on this and the other threads.

yeah, having a bunch ups the odds of them being Jabo ... I just don't recognize them

That's comforting. ;-)

I could be wrong to say "coral". @jeeperman could have been all ready to comment but then had to hold back because he didn't want to hurt my feelings after I got that wrong. So, I'd be guessing it's a Ravenswood, and maybe the closest they come to a coral, so we have sometimes called it a coral. But the ones we most commonly have called corals were thought to be Champion and then they became Alley, and I don't know if the one we called Ravenswood stayed Ravenswood or not.

Type 4. Unless the type numbers have changed since I learn them. Type 1 through 3 have a clear base. 4 is opaque. http://www.joemarbles.com/3Marble Articles/Chuck Brandstetter/What is a Vitro Tiger Eye.htm

I heard of tater bugs.

In the past aventurine was sometimes a byproduct of making green glass. For the special runs they didn't didn't mix the colors in batches as was done in the past. They used pre-made specialty art glass. Some of what they call aventurine is mica in green glass. So that's a different subject. Lutz is the the golden looking part of the glass. But that's really copper. The Jabo special runs used it to make oxblood. And maybe non-mica aventurine is also used to make oxblood ... but I can't remember now. It's all starting to blur. Sometimes I think I know this stuff ... but I always want someone else to come in and proofread my post when we start getting into the technical matters.

oh, man, she's in deep already! Throw her a lifesaver!

What a great effect .... don't know if I have a favorite Vitro. I had some I wish I hadn't sold! Will have to think on this. (edit to add -- I wouldn't call that a cage style .... but I don't know what I would call it .... sure don't want to sidetrack the thread with that topic)

Without a pic, could be a 1960's version of the Tiger Eye .... or could be a later nameless Gladding Vitro marble.

The coral and the baby blues stand out to me.

*there there*

You dun good!

*whistle*

Beauties. That should help feel the hole left by your lost ox.

It's beautiful. Guess it's gotta be in that general family. I don't recognize the run.

38 degrees ... oh that feels so good after the last couple of weeks.

yay!

this morning it looks a little more swirly than I was seeing last night. so this morning I'm leaning champ. But I dunno.

If standard size, I'd guess Champ.

Yeah .. can't tell if it's supposed to be a swirl or a clearie.
