Technically, it looks like you have a mix of true Aces and Moss Agates. And I suppose there could be some other type in there -- maybe something Akro might have put in an Imperial box. Pretty sure I see the Ace glow coming through on the black one. And they're very pretty and very snaky.

Dug Pelts <3 ... the black and white one is a translucent Zebra. A miller-esque Zebra on a realer-esque base.

That's good news.

When you're saving a photo of a rainbow and you have to force yourself to remember to add a "w" to your label

omg omg omg so hot Are you glistening? I'm glistening.

I don't care about Alec Baldwin! ..... I just yelled that as I stomped out of the livingroom when PBS NewsHour started a story about him .... As I was finishing my sentence, I rounded the corner to the bedroom, and on the bed kitty cat Joe is urgently blinking at me ... which I realize is him trying to calm me down ... so I blink back at him for awhile ... and we both seem calmer.

Without knowing details, I'm sure part of the discussion will break down as commons versus uncommons.

You mean the moss agate corks? For a second I thought maybe you meant one like Bill's green based with blue cork. And I thought "moonsnake" And fell in love.

Thanks for the bump. I'm still psyching myself up to gather up my cutlines and appreciate every one you deliver.

Purple! So pritty. Can see the seam on that one ... interesting. Never thought about a confetti seam.

My Alley doesn't have as much color. Originally, when I was told it was a Champion, I thought that maybe the difference between the Champs and the very similar Alleys was that the Alleys had more color. Then it was determined that mine was also an Alley ... so I see Alley has having both options. Simple like mine. A little fancier like Bud's.

("Alba" is Gaelic for Scotland.)

so you're not a fan of extreme moderation?

Oh! Interesting! Learn something new every day.

THAT is an example of a cutline. Yea! You got the ball rolling! It's a Peltier Rainbo. A nice specimen. Forgot the potatoes? That went *whoosh* over my head.

One last chance .... to save me from having to dig out my marbles and come up with some cutline shots. Don't make me do this! Okay, that's my to-do list for tomorrow.

Makes good sense. hehe @ grown up boys.

There ARE Akro corks that I do not know a company name for. LIke this fascinating one of Bill's on the back right -- with the opaque ribbon on a translucent colored base -- what the heck would Akro have called that?
