I guess it was on 5/1/18 when they made some transparent blue with opaque white 1/2”-5/8” marbles that are almost identical to some made a year earlier. Neither marble making session had a name. On 2/22/17 they did a test run using the Vitro peewee machine that produced transparent blue with opaque white patches and swirls.

This is neither my marble nor my picture, but it’s the best one I have seen. Just sharing for folks hoping to see an oxblood auger in the thread if the original isn’t one
-
the single ones and 4 of the ones in the group shot may be 1998 JABOs
-
are there sulphides in them though? That's the key part.
-
Speaking of 2002 JABOs, can I share this crazy pair from the summer run that year. They are as close to looking like a Cateye as JABO ever came. This pattern was really rare for this marble, but there were other cool patchy patterns too. Just sharing for fun.
-
Rotated to see alternate views
-
Didn’t see this thread til now. My problem is I try to only keep one of each variant so I don’t have a bunch of exact matches that I can typically find to put my hands on but these are 2002s that include what look like matches.
-
The trans red ones turn into these
-
Like these and yes white is UV reactive in trans red marbles
-
Looks like it may be one of the January 1999 Pete McMillan Specials. The first private contract run of swirls at JABO
-
I am totally wrong. I was sure too
-
This is the one in the guide. Look closely at this and the original. Same marble I believe. It would be nice for the owner to confirm or not. Just need to see one or two different angles
-
Yes JABO
-
I think of all 3 of those as pink instead of purple. How do others view that color?
-
I agree with Ric except more confidently. I believe the first one is a whispler
-
but you knew exactly what it was and that it was made in the same run as Frank's Alley. I thought it was more of a brain goof than a mistake. I said out loud yesterday twice in a row "but 15 plus 15 is 60."
-
its a 2003 JABO Classic Mountaineer which was made the same time as Frank's Alley like Ron said
-
Just like any marbles there are specific colors that are much harder to find than others
-
Looking at my pic sure screams I need to do close ups of the yellow and blue 7/8” one. Certainly looks like the originals
-
Just adding my variants to the thread for fun
-
I just went and measured my 7 (13/16”) ones and lo and behold they are all 7/8”. I don’t measure often but obviously need to more
-
Akroorka-here are my 6 atmospheres. Boring but still atmospheres
-
I only have a few of the 13/16" and jumbo sized ones, but I have a picture of Linda's from a few years ago that shows the Cosmic Rainbow sizes really well and the consistency in size. This is her pic
-
it is very common for all of us to guess that the color tip MKs are Cosmic Rainbows as they look quite similar
