Ahhh then they were using a metal rod possibly?

Im googling my brain and the bandwidth is a bit low but,,, does it look like they were using a ceramic rod that was blunt to gather with?

Hummmm, I'm googling my brain.

Paul, is the spot flat?

Sweet! I feel like I contributed something of value. lol I worked doing plastic injection and blow molding for 11 years. The sprue can tell a lot about what's going on. I could go on and on but I won't bore you guys.

Bullet mold line that goes all the way around. The spot that looks like a pontil is where the sprue was broken off. It's a cool looking marble. I'm thinking it's probably Czech.

Wow! Alan those are way cool! Paul I want that! and all those jabos make mine look pale in comparison. Guess I'll just punt.

I ran across this on ebay and picked it up for $3.00 it looks to be a double ingate and I will not have it in hand until I get home from work. Hope it's not a rubber ball! Lol

I hope the person who used your card bought cheap cheese at walmart and spend the next three days on the toilet.

Ann Please keep us updated when you can and a few pictures of that pecan tree would be nice too. Just thinking about ya!

Nothing special but I'll post them anyway.

Lol, your funny. I'll keep my eye open for a cat with sparkles in white vanes and if I ever find one,,,, you can have it.

I ran across this post trying to educate myself after observing two distinctly different aventurescience inclusions in a marble. The link is a good read so I thought I would Share. Especially section D. Chrome-bearing fuchsite (a variety of muscovitemica) is the classic inclusion http://santasbling.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49:lutz-or-aventurine&catid=34:chemistry&Itemid=53

Oh, That's nice Cheese! Ok Galen, it's a folded orange and yellow on blue base cork,,,, yep that's what it is!

Are there any machine made with mica?

I tried to get pictures of the seams but not much luck. There is a very shallow seam on both poles. They are both about about 3/16" long and straight.

One more shot of the white

This one is 23/32" it has a Master like structure with wispy white. The transparent green has larger pieces of dark green aventurine and also loaded with fine mica. Any ideas? Bud

Hummm, I'm going with new vacor on the AT&T logo.

Lol, or when every time I turn on my AT&T phone and there logo and looks like a marble.

Ionknow but it's cool!

It's a hit mark, a chip.

Sokoronesa A mixture of one part boiled linseed oil, one part spar varnish and two parts paint thinner will soak deep into the wood and seal it well. After its dry add another heavy coat. Kenitic sand 50 lbs sand 6 cups corn starch 1/8 cup dish soap Water You can add a couple table spoons bleach to kill mold and bacteria.

I apologize for the quality of the pictures.
