wowzer Someone is on a roll. Those WERE some pretty marbles though ... hope whoever got them wasn't hoping for vintage.

That's a pretty little thing

They sneak up on you. Before you know it, you're hooked. Nice get.

The first Joker run set a high bar for all who followed.

Seems a good chance on top right and bottom left, but I never try to narrow down a transparent swirl.

eyepop!

Started an underwater thread not too long ago, but That1's picture is missing coz of the photobucket screwup --- and so it depresses me. So here's a new thread. These are the marbles I pass by in my office on the way to my computer. They make me happy ... and underwater is the only way I know to share with you anything close to how they appear in person. Jabo Tribute to Friendship aventurine swirls

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.
