The simple beauty of one of my favorite marbles of all time for this Wednesday, an Alley spruce, first under artificial light then out in the bright Summertime sunshine

Got some fantastic treasures from a great marble Brother overseas today. Not really sure what to say ?? I'm truly humbled & blown away, thank you my Friend. A full set of sulphides : And it just keeps going

Ribbons look kinda orangish red on my monitor ?? Reminds me of Pelt Superboy colors Dave ??

A pair of 6 finger Rainbos for this "Peltier Tuesday"

100 here tomorrow, today was around 94, usually we're in the mid 70's by now w/ an occasional 80-85, definitely getting hotter in the kitchen no matter were you are !!

A black opaque Indian by definition is a banded opaque. Indian, I believe is a collectors name, IMO. Opaque is opaque to me all 3 of Ron's examples are banded opaque's, just my opinion ....... ...... Needs more butter !!

......... ........ Post yer Ebay link Brother, ya never know, we like marbles

I have a couple of these made of wood w/ some 3/4 " cats in the somewhere I use to hang up coats on. People for the life of them couldn't figure out what they were. There's that coin again Ron, very nice Brother

x2, Maglite Indian i.e. banded transparent This ones a green Maglite Indian w/ a ghost core (banded transparent) I thought it was opaque like the rest of the bunch until I ran a bright light underneath.

Backlight, if purple trans. "Maglite Indian" . If opaque, banding color doesn't matter, still an Indian A banded opaque is an Indian.

No uv pop ....

Agree w/ Alley

When I was a kid these big pileated woodpeckers were all over. Lots of old growth and large second growth around. Now we have become our own worst enemy, cutting down everything to be replanted w/ fast growing genetically modified Douglas fir that gets harvested every 35-40 years leaving no room for this keystone species. I've only seen 2 or 3 in the last 10 or so years and they were all up around MT. St. Helens in the old growth forest. And speaking of "screech" there used to be all kinds of small owls, we called them screech owl as kids, even had a few as pets, now none @ least I haven't seen any. Wadda ya know "Screech owl" is actually what they're called, sorry I didn't have my own pix, gotta dig em out of my Family albums "somewhere??"
