Is that yellow one a cork?

Oh wait ... you said the milky covering has a "green hue". So you did mention a colored area which would probably meet the general description of a "patch" in marble lingo.

weeerd. I think I've got it fixed.

These are sweet. Rich oxblood to go with all the pretty colors. DAS Mill/Bon Holiday Run, November 9, 2017

That looks like white brushed on a pale transparent base. With longish seams, suggesting Vitro. Shorter seams might suggest Master. If there is no colored patch to go with the white, then that makes the ID harder, since on Conquerors we expect both the colored and the white on the surface. Do you have a flash on your camera? That can help a lot in showing features of transparent marbles.

What are the colors? I think it's a Vitro. Maybe a conqueror. But I can't be sure since I'm not getting a good sense of the color. I'm trying to remember the word Galen would use for what caused the dark line but I'm drawing a blank. Maybe some kind of debris in the tank or on the rollers.

very nice effect

Mineral spheres are great. I can't say it's not alabaster. I know that in the smaller ones which were actually used as marbles, back in the 1800's, it was extra special if you had red veins. That would make them "blood allies".

Here's my Budweiser. From 2007.

Hi. You can upload the pix to the gallery. We can visit your gallery or get the image address from there and post it in the thread.

.... stalling while I look for my Jabo Budweiser ......

I thought of those too!

That sounds interesting. I'm not familiar with those. The "blacklight" bulbs that you can get from walmart don't work for me. But I see that the flashlights are supposed to be able to light up doggie accidents ... so probably it'll light up your vaseline glass marbles. My blacklight looks something like this, if this picture is coming through.

That's Jelle's. He posts here sometimes. @YellowMarble

LOL ... I was trying to find an image of Popeye playing marbles ... and it's really hard to find the actual Popeye cartoon if you include the word marbles ... not sure why

What Mike said! But seriously, I say "yes", color on the road. A distinct road leading up to the tunnel. However, this is not something I've spent a lot of time pondering. It just made sense visually and I didn't think about it more. I'm not expert on the range of variation allowed in this style. And I'm not sure if I even have one. So I'll bow out now and welcome other opinions.

And I've been putting my dinosaur eggs through a rock tumbler ... oh no! What have I done!

You have a Vitro Helmet on the left, from the 1930's. Not a rare marble, but a much loved one. I think also a Vitro on the right. If that's transparent inside, then it's sometimes called a Transparent Whitie, and it's a relative of the Tiger Eyes. From the 1950's. If solid white inside then just a regular Whitie, and I think from the 1960's.

I'm not getting a sense of a pelt ribbon and seam structure. It's coming through more as a swirl. Maybe Champion. What does the base look like under blacklight?

It's wild and wonderful and definitely a keeper. Alas, I still don't know what to call it.

I don't think it needs more than this: Though with the machine-mades I usually expect to see a flatter seam.

sorrrreeeee! I like the ride where you spin around inside a barrel and the bottom drops out. Can't do roller coasters or ferris wheels.

Thanks, Grant.
