Looks like an Ohio swirl to me.

I don't recall not liking any marble? This one looks Vitro to me.

I agree

Nice! I'll play along with a favorite Ravenswood too.

Thanks Ric, yeah keep and eye on those game marbles... would hate for a lavender MFC to get tossed out with the bathwater. Great backlash there too! This might be my favorite Champion, or one of them.

3 Alleys and a CAC.

I think EVERY WV swirl maker other than Mid Atlantic made them in this color combo. That makes it hard enough in and of itself. Being familiar with pattern is most useful with them. Most Jacksons I've seen in this color don't glow. So that is a hint against Jackson IMO, but Jackson used a lot of glowing glass so I wouldn't be surprised to find some that do. I should go check all mine again. Alox wasn't in WV but they also made them in this color combo and some of theirs do glow. Maybe Alox is a better choice for the ones that glow? Alox pattern can be very much like Jackson. Size is right for either. Maybe when things slow down from the holidays I will pull out some Jacksons and Alox in this color combination and see what differences I can discern, if any. We've got family staying with us right now, so it will be a while. This color combo is one of the hardest to differentiate.

Made by Master, Sold by Master, Alox, and Ravenswood.

It seems like I already saw this one elsewhere? I think the odds are it's Jackson with a possibility of Alox. It's not foreign or modern. I would put it with Jackson.

We thought that at one time, as one of many theories about the coppery blotches. But we've found these blotches on many makers, even once on DAS if I remember right, which does not have bronze repairs on their rollers. I think it must have something to do with never-seize or graphite. Yet another theory.

Ravenswood.

Looks like a damaged black game marble on my screen.

Yes to Heaton but not Rare. Not common but not rare.

Good thinking duotone, but the Heatons don't glow. The white on very few Heatons will glow. I think almost every swirl maker used those colors. With the white glowing, it would lean more towards Ravenswood or Alox.

I'd leave it in the RW pile I believe.

The modern lapidary mineral spheres are not worth much. The older agates that you can see were done by hand with tiny facets and flat trails that can bee seen with close and careful inspection have value.

Yeah neither are Jewels. Facebook is full of incorrect marble info. It's really hard to know what to listen to there.

Very nice, and you are correct about them all being from the same maker. Nice to find a group of CACs like this. Generally when they come like this in an old dirty lot, they have come out of a box set and stayed together all this time. A collector with a box they are trying to fill would be ecstatic to have a chance at a group like this. Keep em together!

Jewel is a Peltier name but this looks nothing like one. I would suspect the one you already have if it looks like this.

I IDed it as RW
