The leather might in theory be too textured. The theory is that the camera needs to not think it's the background texture that it needs to focus on, so that it's more willing to focus on the marble. But really, your enlarged views show very nice detail. Don't worry about me sitting over here being late to the show.

A nonreflective minimally textured gray ...

After remembering to click and enlarge, and after seeing your Jabos in other threads this morning, I'm going with all Jabo here.

Arranging them in a 2 x 2 square or 3 x 2 rectangle, and using a less reflective background surface would both be good for getting more marble in better detail in the photos. However, I jjust remembered to click on these and englarge and the detail is pretty good. I think Akro on bottom. And because of the seams and general patch shape, Akro on top. The middle three look more generic. Looking athe enlarge version, I'm leaning Vitro on those but wouldn't be surprised if the top two of the three turned out to be Marble King.

Pretty sure some Jabo in there.

Here is one of our nonmarble glass threads. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/26983-slag-glass-scores/

Either general chat forum or the lounge can work for non-marble glass. It's all good.

My neighbors are trying to get me interested in non-food gardening. It's a tough sell. But now I have a hosta and an elephant ear. I just learned of the existence of a perennial sweetpea which can stand up to the Wisconsin climate. That piqued my fancy.

We don't have lights or other decorations because our one-year-old cat would eat them. But we have two frisky cats, which I'll gladly trade for decorations.

Not TOO much snow. I'm guessing around 10 inches spread out over a few days. But I've never seen this much snow when it was so very cold. And the wind. KRAZZZY! I am cozy at home though and happy. Stay warm everybody!

I think Marble King on the one with the purple. Possibly Akro on the red and green.

I used to have a wishlist, and it all got filled, but I can come up with something to play along. Dear Santa, I hope you are well. Please pet Rudolph for me. I would like to have a green aventurine Japanese 4-vane cat's eye boulder. Or a 4-color St. Marys boulder. xxoo, Stephanie

Celery! Bleagh!

They were Alley for awhile. But then they went back to being Akro. Even though they were found in Alley digs.

Good find. I've moved the thread to the Archives.

Jabo Scalawags?

Congrats on getting your Badgers.

Definitely on the right track. I'm seeing some Vitro Blackies though mixed in with the All Reds. The ones with the black around the center, but matching color patches on either end. For example: Two blue patches. Two green patches. Two yellow patches. Two white patches. Also, if it looks like an All Red, with the white center but two different colored patches and neither patch is red -- that would probably be a Tiger Eye. I thought I saw one of those but now I'm not finding it again. Might be a couple of other patches out of place. In the top left corner of the All Red picture, about four marbles down from the top, and one over from the left, there's an interesting light green patch which I'm guessing might not be Vitro.

I just opened a door onto a new area of collection I never thought much about before. Hubby is going to be thrilled.

Glass beads may be a good lead. My brain is already beginning to get over the quest to find pieces exactly like the glass-looking candy. And it's starting to realize some other shapes could fill my unexpected need for small non-marble glass art. Some pretty beads here. But the shell art further down the page took my breath away .... https://beadoire.com/

"Whimsy" is another possible search word which comes to mind, but it's not getting me as close as I hoped it would.

Here's some crazy realistic stuff .... 7 pages of it https://www.zfolio.com/collections/glass-candy

My first thought is Peltier. But I see why you might consider Vitro. I'm sticking with Peltier for now. I'm hopeful it's a Christmas Tree but I will defer to the Keepers of Collectors' Names.
