  1. Banded transparent IMO, maybe my I.D. terminology is out of date ??
  2. Annealing Fracture IMO, even if you can or can't feel it, some are subsurface and can't be felt with your fingernail some aren't, 100% machine made whether you can see where it was sheared off or not, no indications of it being a single gather IMO. A HTF marble yes, still not a 9.9, 9.0 mint - because of the fracture IMO, rarity doesn't boost condition. Pontils always refer to handmades, where the cane was cut off with shears by hand. Machine mades were cut off with shears to, but by a machine, so no pontils, shear marks, if they can be found. BTW- No such thing as "non fluorescing Ade glass" since that's what ade entails, if it has an ade base it should react to uv light. A good marble will sell itself in my experience. If you like it buy it, whatever makes you happy, as long as you're satisfied but I find the description more than misleading IMO.
  3. Maybe Vitro but not a horseshoe cat IMO

  10. Flames are a conundrum for me. Used to be 3 tips showing on one side to qualify, now it's 4-5 guess I'll just make up what I want classify as a flame. No CAC or Alley on the OP. not sure what it is, sorry
  11. The limeade ox I have pictured above is the second closest to a perfect marble I have ever owned in over 40 years., I've looked at it over and over again W a 10x loupe, nothing. It's .751" and not a dimple or scratch on it, the best example is what I go for now, I had it rated a 9.9 next to it in rating is a purple Popeye I got 38 years back.
  12. Akro made marbles by the millions and millions, there's gonna be a lot of one off's. Made as cheaply as possible as children's toy's. I used to collect nothing but one offs but now just what I like, which does include some one off's
  13. sorry bout that, i just seen your caliper measurement, my bad sticking with Jabo
