Hoody, do you know Snap, Crackle and Pop ... both an iconic phrase and three iconic cartoon characters associated with Rice Krispies cereal? I thought of them and what a part they were of my culture growing up ... the kind of thing "everybody know" ... and I wondered about other countries having that kind of silly stuff becoming household phrases. So I thought I'd try to ask you about it. Even though I haven't quite figured out how to phrase my question .....

I see it! That looks like a hurricane or a whirlpool or something.

lol ... I don't know

Oooooh ... nice pattern. I'm gonna go with Peltier. The seam kinda made me wonder if it could be CAC, but I'm sticking with Peltier. Peltier slags are famous for "feathering".

Flash pictures or underwater pictures could help ... at least could help me!

I'm trying to see it! I kinda see two eyes and a pointy nose. What is the cat doing?

That's yours? Wish I knew! And just an hour left.

How are the ribbons arranged? Could we have a pic in different light, maybe with flash? What I'm curious about: Are the colors all mixed in together or are the green ribbons distinct from the yellow ... and if they are distinct, do they do the pelt flipflop?

Jabo New Decade on left, Akro Silver placeholder on right.

What a nice thread this has been to wake up to in the mornings.

What do we think? Chinese on that one?

Not sure I'm quite seeing the ribbons properly in the light. Ribbons green and gold?

Any requests? LOL ... there's soooo much ... where to start!

that's different

I need to do this someday. I had a box of special runs from 2008 and 2009, labelled groups side by side, with tiny dividers between them. And then I tripped.

I'm bored ... googled for animated marbles pictures ... you have any fun ones?

That's what I was wondering! But I only dared to whisper it.

The top pix are pretty clear. Maybe it just doesn't like the close-up? I'll go with WV swirl on the one. But I don't recognize Vitro on the other, Scott, not with that seedy base. i'm intrigued by it, Sara.

With no seams, I'd also guess swirl (not Pelt) at 9 o'clock. So the question might be if it's a modern swirl or a vintage swirl. If vintage, then it goes to the WV swirl box. Another view might be nice on that one. I'd also like to see more of 7 o'clock.

*flying tackle hug* .... and nice orbs!

Are you sure about the aventurine? I think you're right about Jabo. The classics, from 1991 through 2007, weren't very busy ... at least not the smaller swirls. The boulders could get pretty wild. But I'm not familiar with aventurine from that period. Does the pink happen to glow under a blacklight?

Modern marble kings. 9/16". Opalescent. Next .... polka dot!
