Hi Sami: A pleasure to have finally met you at the Buckeye Show in February. Received my Pelt Book earlier this week. Absolutely fantastic. Top quality production. Exceeded my expectations. Bob ( Canada )

The larger one appears to be Amber and the smaller one amethyst. I have a Mica currently listed for sale on eBay #181982533889 and I have described the color as either Pink or Amethyst. It is much lighter than yours and it has a pinkish tinge. Some might say it is Pink with either an amethyst or lavender tinge. I believe most Pink Micas are actually a very light amethyst. I have never seen a Mica that I would consider a true Pink like you would find in a Pink Opaque or Melonball marble, but, that doesn't mean that they don't exist. The difference between Pink and Light Amethyst with a Pink Tinge would be in the eyes of the beholder. Nonetheless, amethyst in a Mica marble is an uncommon color and a nice find.

Among the 71 lots.....the Marble King Trophy, the Large Indian Swirl, the Large Onionskin with Large Mica Flakes, the Leighton Style Transitional, and, the Large Eagle on a Rock and Bust of Beethoven Sulphides were all part of the Don Taylor ( Ann Arbor, Michigan ) Collection.

Thanks everyone for your help. Akro it is.

Looks like an onionskin to me, but, could be wrong. This is another Mist marble that I have with Mica.

Hi: Here's another one. Pink or Amethyst ? Thanks, Bob.

Hi: Would you consider this to be a Pink or Amethyst Mica ? Bob

Hi: Is this an Akro Agate or Christensen Agate Yellow Slag ? It fluoresces green under a UV light. Bob.

This is a large 1 7/16" Banded Mist Marble that I posted on this site a little while back. Hopefully this will help with identification of mattshaw1953s marble.

Hi and thank you both. Have agreat day, Bob.

Hi and thanks. Bob

Hi and thanks. Bob

Hi and thanks. I'm onclined toward German as well. Have a great day, Bob.

Couple additional pictures. These are all quite well made and have either a translucent colored base glass. I do have some that are opaque glass as well. Thanks again, Bob.

Here are the pictures of the opposite seams for the 2 marbles that I am unsure of. Thanks again, Bob.

I'm quite certain these are Chinese Single Pontil Hand-Made Marbles, however, I do not know when these type would have been made. Any ideas ? Thanks and have a great weekend, Bob.

Hi: I'm quite certain the one on the left is a German Striped Transparent, however, not 100% certain for the other 2. Appreciate your help with positive identification. Can only post one of these pictures at a time. All 3 are 2 seam marbles. Will follow up with picture of opposite seams. Thanks and have a great weekend, Bob.

Thank you again Steph. Bob

Thank you Steph and Wvrons. Much appreciated. Bob.

Last one. Thanks, Bob.

Couple more. Thanks, Bob.

Hi: Are these Marble King Rainbows from the 1960s or 1970s ????? Thanks, Bob

Hi: Thanks for the info. Are there any particular traits that I should look for to tell the difference between the Hillbilly Magic Run and the Indian Summer Run, i.e. aventurine, lutz, certain colors ????? Much appreciated, Bob.
