    The ribbons are different in length and width Leigh’s are high towards the pole and fatter. Steph’s pics show thinner ribbons that are lower towards the equator. So is this a trait of Kokomo? 

     

    I think both Pelt and Kokomo can be pretty irregular in ribbon length and width.  And  I'm not saying Leigh's is a Kokomo.

    I'm just saying that there's reason to go slow and consider.  Maybe it will turn out to be a Peltier.  If it is though, it's an unusual one.

    Has the same top ribbon pattern where White meets White that clear based single color Pelts have here’s a pic from the Peltier site.

    Same pattern?  Not sure where  you're going with the collage.  

    Here's are some pix that Scott LeGrande took to illustrate the flip-flop that's typical of Pelt Rainbos with two ribbon colors:

    Compare that to Leigh's marble:

  3. This is a highly unusual Peltier Rainbo, or it is a Kokomo.  

    Typically Pelt Rainbos will have the ribbons change order on opposite sides.

     

    On the top side in this view you have red on the left and white on the right.  So typically in a Peltier Rainbo, on the bottom side the white would be on the left, red on the right.

  4. My first thought was Alley Agate.

    Not sure what being out-of-round would mean to my guess.  If I'm right about it being Alley, maybe it was dug or maybe it just slipped by quality control.  

  5. That's what I would have wanted.  But with the other marbles Rick was posting ... and with the mysterious "exotic conqueror" and "fancy conqueror" names floating around ... and with my awareness of about five years of Vitro patches coming between the standard conquerors and the Tiger Eyes, I feel shaky here.

    Soooooo ... with the topic fresh on my mind from another thread, I googled for exotic conquerors and found this  AAM picture.  

    Talk to me about this.  Any Tiger Eyes here?
