I agree, JABO/new

I think Peltier. Koko made some that color too. Different base though. I could be wrong.

What size is it? I don't think it's MK. Looks like Kugler glass. Might be an odd DAS.

I don't think "bionic clown" is a recognized pelt name. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Lots of names on ebay for marketing purposes.

The ketchup and Mustard is a NLR pelt, older than a clown, which is more in the rainbo family. Also the typical K&M has a white base and the typical Clown has a dark base, nearly black. A Bionic Rainbo is like the above marbles but also added are other colors like green and can be shades of purple to pink. Possibly others as not all examples have been shown publicly. They usually seem to be a bit twisted up and pulled in pattern. They were not made in a swirl AFAIK. I've seen clowns from around 9/16" up to around an inch. I don't recall seeing any in the 3/4 to 7/8" range but they may have made them, I don't know. Hope that helps some until someone more familiar with them comments.

Yeah, the names go in the weeds sometimes there. Alley "dragonfly"... https://www.ebay.com/itm/325916230352?hash=item4be21f02d0:g:VIsAAOSwTC9lb6HW

Nice glass Schmoozer! Love the Wurlitzer!

I agree with Peltier.

The gar! Valerie caught that back when we first got married on a camping trip down on the banks of the Suwanee River. She had so much fun fighting it on light tackle that when she got it reeled in, she flipped the bail and let it back out again. It was so entangled in the braided line with his fine teeth that is was done by the time we got it cut loose, so she wanted to mount it. I did the taxidermy on it myself. Fun memories from that trip.

I had this wall between my coat closet and kitchen that I never figured out what to do with. I figured it out. Thanks to Nola Morgan and Dave Akers, I had lots of these jars that Champion used to ship marbles and gems in. So I built this shelf with LED lights and a dimmer switch to display them on. Everything from Vacor to Alley here. Every jar has it's theme.

Alley.

I just happened to be going through some marble stuff and picked up up a small box of dug Cairos just now. I opened it and picked out 16 glow worms all 11/16" to 13/16" right off the bat. Who knows how many more there are. Not HTF. At least not in my collection. The one that went over $50 on ebay was not 11/16" though.

Marbles from Cairo (Care-oh) over 5/8" are quite common. The glow worm has been a named Cairo for many years. Even listed as one at the West Virginia Marble Collector's Club website. It's not a HTF marble if you dug Cairo. Might be HTF if you're just trying to find one in the wild, but Cairos of any kind aren't all that common in the wild.

Yep, I think it would be more likely that it came from Akro IMO, since so much material from Akro has been distributed around the collecting community. Unless it is known to have been dug elsewhere. The first piece looks more like true black but the second is dark dark blue. Once cullet has lost it's provenance, it is usually gone forever, unless it's a recognizable color or something else gives it away. I keep mine in marked boxes or I mark on the cullet where it was from with a sharpie marker in case sometime I'm gone and can't answer the question of where it came from.

Lots of black and whites out there. Especially Akro.

The origin of the cullet is unknown? If so, it may never be able to be attributed to a company.

Chuck, I was going by this pic you posted at AAM, at 5:00 it appears that you have one?

A group Chad Cline posted on AAM several years ago. Peltier.

There were some dug corals from Peltier and this may be one. I believe the ones like this are thought to be hand gathered. Chuck G has or had one.

Looks like an Asian Cateye with aventurine to me.

Vitros. Uncommon bag I think, at least I don't recall seeing one.

I'm with slag. I can see the purple is transparent in between the heavy white.

Yep, y'all are on it (as expected) that these aren't kosher for old marbles. Would you believe that these marbles don't exist at all? Artificial intelligence made them in a matter of seconds. My prompt words were "A big marble with neon green, oxblood, and gold". I don't see much gold but still the results are striking. I can't believe the details, the shadows and reflections. The results were generated in just seconds, 4 at a time submitted by AI for my approval. It knew to put light fixture reflections, blur the out of focus edges, make the shadows, etc... on it's own. I thought it would be interesting to show what modern tech can do in relation to the marble world. It's both fun and uncanny, maybe unsettling. I wish I could pluck these right off my screen. Here are some more to check out, thanks for looking!

Thought I'd run these by y'all

Just to help when looking for seams on swirls (generally called cuts or cut lines when dealing with swirls), here is an edited pic along with your original pic showing one cut end of the stream. The other end is buried as Ric described.
