  1. Wasn't a "Winnie" one of the Veiligglas marbles from Amsterdam named after @winnie ?? LINK :: https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=48816&p=352757&hilit=winnie#p352757
  2. These are all Vacor De Mexico (Mega) IMO, all very common, please try and limit the amount of marbles for ID to 1-3 marbles so no one gets lost. a measurement of each would help tremendously in certain ID circumstances. Oop!! looks like Ric did it the short smart way and I took the long road home ID wise I suspect Vacor but some very similar are manufactured in China Newer Marble King
  3. All Peltier MCS ( Multi Color Swirls )except the last maybe 2 I'd consider just a Rainbo's. 3 to 4 w/ multiple views of each is a good max to stick to when posting for I.D. purposes so no one gets confused. The seams if any are present are key to a proper I.D. ( basically 4 views or each side of the marble showing all aspects is best) also a good measurement in fractions if possible.
  4. Alley Shimmering Spruce, nice mib Jeremy, one of my favorites !!
  5. "Welcome to Marble Connection Anthony" No Submarine, Peltier Multi Color Rainbo (MCR)

    Not sure Ric, it says an onyx has a "white" opaque spiral ?? I'm a bit confused myself, that being the reason why I posted the definition ??

  19. "Happy Akro FRiday " " Some info on Oxbloods" However, the most collectible are the Oxbloods. Oxblood actually refers to a specific color that is found on the marble. This is a deep rust red with black filaments in it. The color is very similar to dried blood, hence the name. It is often confused with red colors of other manufacturers. However, those colors are almost always translucent to transparent and do not have black filaments. Oxblood must be opaque and it must have black filaments in it.Oxbloods are found in corkscrew, swirl or patch varieties. They are usually referred to by the name of the underlying marble that they are found on: Chocolate oxblood (opaque brown or dark tan base with oxblood), clear oxblood (transparent clear base with oxblood), milky oxblood (translucent white base with oxblood), silver oxblood (translucent silver base with opaque white swirls and oxblood), limeade oxblood (limeade corkscrew with oxblood), egg yolk oxblood (milky white base with a bright yellow swirl and oxblood), carnelian oxblood (milky white and brown swirls with oxblood), blue oxblood (milky white base with a translucent blue swirl and oxblood), orange oxblood (milky white base with translucent orange swirls and oxblood), lemonade oxblood (milky white base with yellow swirl and oxblood), oxblood corkscrew (opaque white base with an oxblood corkscrew, sometimes on a dark blue spiral, which is called a blue-blood), swirl oxblood (white base with oxblood swirls), patch oxblood (white base with a stripe of oxblood on one side). The swirl and patch oxbloods are generally believed to be more recent than the others. Also, some hybrid combinations of two of the above have been found, but they are extremely rare. Generally, the oxblood floats on the surface of the marble. It is less common to find some of the oxblood inside the marble.
