  1. Glass coefficient, that's the word I was lookin for and the reason for the fractures (Akro superman, Akro indian Blanket) and a few others all have a similar problem because of the coefficient (incompatibility) of two different types of glass used to make them that cool @ different rates causing the fracturing so common to the type. I think all my Alley supers I have @ least one fracture except maybe one ?? The Akro Supers that I kept are about 50/50 and none of the blankets I have exhibit any fracturing ( not the first either) I had to pick a lot of cherries to get some that weren't split.
  2. Onionskin's have an underlying skin (Thus the name "Onionskin") usually of yellow or white w/ any number of colored bands stretched over it. Joseph coats are minus the skin and generally have a window between the colored ribbons to the transparent interior of the marble. (I should note there are always exceptions as in the case of any marble) ONIONSKIN W/ A YELLOW SKIN :: ONIONSKIN W/ A WHITE SKIN :: JOSEPH COATS :: Beach Ball type Coat : Orange Joseph Coat (Backlit so you can see the windows between the ribbons) And a couple shots of the same marble under normal lighting :
