Probably a compromise on the distance might help, also. Closer than the three marble picture, but still a few inches away. (Assuming you haven't tried that yet.)

Some nice golden looking chunks in that brown one, Dave. (All lookers, as usual.)

Nice effect in the sunlight. Got some lovely smoky tendril action. (p.s., I think it's an Akro, if you're curious.)

Rainbos will tend to have at least one pair of ribbons ending in the middle area of the seam. You have that color peeking out at the side. Not standard with anyone, but seems far from the norm with Pelt.

Thanks, Dan!

I'm thinking Jabo.

Hmmm ... oh gosh, don't stress I'm not getting a pelt feel though. More like Marble King or Vitro. But I don't know what to make of parts of it being "reddish transparent".

Yes! Pink champagne!

pretty!

@lstmmrbls? @slagmarble? Any opinion on this?

That one looks rather botanical. What kind of plant has long yellow and brown leaves?

Thanks, Burt!

Well, I wanted to get outside and get some sunlight pix -- I know people like "natural" -- but I'm dragging my feet, and I do like the bright colors from a flash photo. Voila! DAS F.A.B.B. Coastal .... I have a date of Sept. 6, 2017 .... but I made the mistake of looking online and I'm seeing different dates

That's nice of you! I won't request one ... just wanted to say a general thanks.

That's cool -- that would be aventurine. When you get a blacklight you should get an eyeful of glow from the base.

I feel inspired!

Need bigger pictures. Hmmmm ... not getting a good feel for the purple. Is there only one white stripe? It's not where I expect a stripe on a Pelt Rainbo to be.

Good angles. I think Master on those two. The Akro is a Moss Agate. Did you check it with a blacklight?

I have so many new run examples to post. Just got three more sample sets in the mail. Someone make me take pictures!

Yes on the green. No peerless patches. (They are opaque.) I'm not getting a distinct picture on the cutlines of the other two. The blue and white one could be a Master just based on color and general consistency of the white. (Close-ups of seams could possibly change my mind, but it's a safe first guess.) Leaning Vitro on the clear and white one .... but not so comfortably. Definitely close-ups of the ends could change the picture.

Oooooh. Nice capture.

Yeah, they did good that day.

Exciting!

Found The article says M. F. Christensen, but Martin had died in 1915, so this was his son Charles. Other papers that ran some version of the story had other headlines, such as "Marble Man's Wife Playing 'For Keeps'". So, anyway, you see what I mean by kinda sad, kinda cute.
