Thanks Dindo the marbles are sitting on a sheet of white opaque perspex that was used for viewing xrays so the light is actually under them think those sparklers would look pretty wild using the same back lighting technique
Keen on the euros myself and have mostly foreign to the US marbles in my collection
have seen these opaque types in German packaging i also have a bunch of the transparent types but am a bit technically challenged at present so haven't been taking much pictures but any way here is one i just put together
I managed to find only one for sale since your post Dave the 2 blue one`s maybe especially the one on the left i would say most likely is
The transparent types are easy to buy this was just one lot i saw many in groups
And this great site has them not sure how many he sells but at 2.50 each i would imagine they sell
