That's incredible.

the umbilical cord marble!

wowwww did you create that marble stand yourself ???

I have a Block price guide ... somewhere. I'm on the look out for it to see if it might be the book you mean. I don't have access to a scanner though. Bumping this and moving it to the general chat forum. Maybe someone else can rustle a scan up.

What is it about citruses which seems so juicy? *drool* edit: not to slight the rest! a lot of nice pelt ....

All Rainbos. Nice set. Later than Submarines. Don't know which decade. 30's to 60's? Could be earlier Rainbos, but still later than NLR's.

I'm also curious about that one.

lol - I finally clicked the thumbnail. sorry I took so long. nice!

Chordus, are you familiar with Chris' other work? He's very socially conscious. His subjects include an array of political and cultural figures. He has a gallery here: http://glasskitchen.com I just noticed his blog. It has some photos too.

Completely awesome. I had one of those Sistersville mussel shells with holes where the buttons were punched out. I don't now. Wish I did!

Nothing in particular. Just having fun thinking about a pretty marble.

Sorry about that. But as I said, I'm not trying to be neutral. It would be a lost cause. Before yesterday I was trying to be neutral on this topic. Then yesterday, someone asked me specially to give my opinion in this thread and now that I've gotten interested in it, I'm participating just like any other member of the board. As a real live human who is interested in a beautiful marble.

No, Bo, why should I be neutral? The best I can hope for is that I'm accused of non-neutrality more or less equally, and so far I'm doing pretty good in that department.

Maybe salamanders have blue where Chuck comes from. ... or maybe he could call it a blue tongue skink. reptilesweb.com

I've heard of red-based Peltiers before. Ruby Slippers come to mind. However, one thing I've never heard of before is Peltier taking a transparent based marble and completely covering the surface with other colors in the way Vitro is known to have done.

I'm under the impression that when you backlight a pelt submarine it's supposed to look close to transparent. Other than that and the basic blue and red/orangey colors, I don't know the "definition".

Hi Chris. Do you post your work at any political forums? Serious question. Sensational work ......

Bo, my thought would be no. Both the structure and colors look different. I'm seeing a pretty distinct multicolor rainbo structure on Chuck's (3 distinct ribbons on each side). I don't get that multi-color rainbo feel from yours. Plus, I'm guessing/assuming that a color arrangement close to Chuck's would be an important part of the salamander name. So not just any multi-color rainbo combo would do. The blue, white, red/orange and opaque green all being needed. ... is my assumption .......

Way cool!

I've seen boxes of Chinese checkers marbles with the Berry Pink brand on them. Don't recall having seen a board tho'. Pretty cool.

You should give credit to the sources of the photos. You don't usually need permission. I guess there are always exceptions. But sounds like you're talking about the sort of thing people do fairly casually without anyone getting upset.
