  1. LOL @ "promiscuously". That's a very cute set.
  2. What a sweet style. Some how I've managed to collect a few of those that I didn't remember acquiring ... I was delighted to find when I sorted my Akros.

    Agates

    "2. A piece of a certain kind of rock, that's been carved/ground/polished into a sphere without fancy machinery." "Handmade" (or "hand-ground" or "hand-faceted") agate would be close to that. Machinery was used but there was someone tending the marble on the grinder. Manually rotating it so that it would be ground all around.

    I'll give it a try if no one else does but on some of those questions I'm sure someone can be more efficient than I. I kinda dither over some of the terms myself.

    The agate is incredible.
  6. Sorry for your frustration, Celticdruid. I use Photobucket for most of my photos. Sometimes I load them to the gallery. Size doesn't matter for Photobucket or the gallery. For attachments they have to be less than about 450 kb.
  7. I always love when the first marbles of spring peek out from the ground .....
  8. Wonderful pic. And nice marble dish.
  9. I'll put a link to this thread in the archive to try to hopefully remind myself to move this over there after whatever current discussion we have.
  10. No! Modern marbles from China. Not cat eyes!

    Squiggle

    West Virginia Swirl. Not sure if they're identifiable. Different companies made "nearly black" marbles. I have a Jackson and Cairo Novelties sorta like that. Someone might recognize it though.
  12. Adding them to the gallery is one way. They can also be added as attachments in the "use full editor" option. They may need to be resized in order to do that. I use Windows Paint to resize. Galen (lstmmrbls) will also probably recommend a resizer. (I need to remember that one. ) Or some post from a host like Photobucket.
  13. Welcome! Hope we can help.
  14. Mosaics are fascinating in their own right.
  15. With iridescent finishes? Interesting. And good to consider because Amber's marble does look Vitro. .... I do have some Vitro-looking and, if I recall correctly, pincher-looking marbles which are new enough that they could possibly still be in production. Need to dig 'em out to refresh my memory.
  16. New name to me too. I googled it and this ebay listing showed up. Whaddaya think? Vitro Whitey on this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/261790325399
  17. Those marbles which will be Randy's soon:

  19. Not slaggy in the sense of marbles. How large is it?
  20. Steph

    Akro? (20)

    With the same color patch on either end, I'll guess MK again.
