Quite!

Well howdy. Very pretty. And that paperweight is amazing.

Fajita-like things. A little bit of beef brown -- just a little -- for flavor and for oil. A bell pepper in thin slices, lightly fried with the little bit of beef. On flour tortillas. With a sprinkle of cheddar and a sprinkle of gouda. Not sure how I feel about the gouda -- mostly it's just there in the fridge and I'm helping it go away. Then a little cilantro from the freezer and some red pepper flakes. Wrap up the tortillas, 20 more seconds in the microwave, and mmmmmmmmmmmm

You're still counting me as a vote against, right? I'm strongly resisting the the Vacor idea. FWIW!

Another from the handsome family.

maybe the wildest one I've ever seen

a very pretty marble nice color combination, nice glass

Posting the famous ID pic just to get the side-by-side. Not sure I'm seeing it, but would love someone to come in and show off their Liberty Citruses so we could see how much variation they have.

Pretty. Nice hint of glow down there.

Ha! I was afraid they were taking on airs. How _were_ they made? Changes between runs of different colors? Or chemical reactions doing funky stuff with the copper-based colors?

Oooh ...

For one marble? Shipping has gone up quite a bit since I sold regularly but the small flat rate priority box still ships for under $7. Box is free. Tracking is included. $50 insurance is included. If I understand correctly.

I'm not seeing Vacor structural traits.

gorgeous

fantastic pattern

John, that's so sweet of you. People like you are what make this hobby great.

I wondered -- I doubted -- you did it. Nice job capturing those in the dark from such a distance.

I moved it over to here, due to the advanced nature of the topic.

LOL ... I'm watching the 2nd event now ... not gonna rush this, but giving it an advance thumbs up. I can tell it's gonna be fun. Your partnership with the play-by-play announcer was a wonderful move. (And nice design on the race. )

majestic opening ceremony

Love it. Congratulations. Thanks for the update on this unusual topic.

Darn! But you had to take the chance.

I have all of two melon balls. I pulled out the white one and hoped for opalescence, but no. I tried to imagine that I was seeing a hint of orange, but it was just wishful thinking. I did get a little fire coming through the blue one. I don't know how to judge the pontils. Faceted I think on the white and maybe melted on the blue, but not sure. The marbles came with a date -- July 14, 1879.
