*ooooph* Great name. It kinda looks like a bowling ball with the glitter.

Mark is so sure and I really don't know, so I'll jump onto Mark's side of the fence now. Just send them to me.

That one is a looker.

Don't need to actually see a line. But it would be good to see direct shots of where the ribbons end. And these photos are very interesting, leaving me wanting more. I see Akro, Peltier and Vitro possibilities.

Congratulations to Devon and Emily. Marbles champs crowned in Wildwood

No, not popeye patch. My first thought was Asian. With Master as a second choice. Not seeing Akro.

Sharp!

I watched the Perry Mason finale last night on MeTV -- the last episode from the 60's version of the show, that is. I made sure not to miss it because the last episodes of the series broke away from the formulaic earlier episodes. Wanted to enjoy the variety before I settled back in to the basic comfort zone of the rest of the series, which will restart tonight. Plus, you gotta love it when Dick Clark is the killer, right? (Ooops, hope I didn't spoil it for anyone. ) After seeing the episode and commenting on it elsewhere I was shown this link about all the special performers in the episode. With that extra info, "Final Fade Out" has just vaulted into my list of favorite finales ever. http://www.classictvinfo.com/PerryMason/FinalFadeOut.htm

Does the wood turtle know you? Or does it just feel safe enough to stick around without knowing why it's so safe?

Happy summer camp memories

Come play over here awhile: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/20922-peltier-specials/

adding! (lovely)

More photos showing the cutlines and ribbon structure might still be helpful. That kinda looks like oxblood to me which pushes me away from Peltier. Of course you didn't say oxblood, Nancy, so maybe I'm reaching. Still I've been trying to count ribbons and so far don't see enough.

Thanks, flyball. I'm gonna move it from the study hall out into the main forum for a while and ask folks to add names of new artists who may have hit the scene in the last four years. *moved* Edna, you reading?

Sounds good to me

Men of a certain age

I watch Survivor too, but I don't feel as guilty about that!

I think the Alley name is also a collector name. Right, Bill?

There is also a Pelt rainbo called an Inky by collectors.

Champagne delight!

I'd go with "eggyolk" on the blue one. Maybe more than average white in with it. Still looks like what collectors call "Ace". Not Ade. The smaller three may not be moss agate family. The two yellow patches look like they could turn out to be Peltier. And the yellow and green could be something else like a tri-color agate instead of a moss.

And an ordinary, worn cat eye in there for good measure. And a strange brown ball with flat spots and dots?
