88 to 90 for this Thursday, once it starts seems like it doesn't get shut off till late August early Sept. when I was a kid it was great it never seemed to bother me but now, Phew only so many 100 deg. days @ 95 tom 98 % humidity I can withstand. And of course as we all know the Summers are getting longer & hotter, something I've really noticed in the past decade, especially the lengthening of the Summer, we used to get rain for almost 9 months of the year, now it's about 50/50, 6 months of each. Q least were not cookin like 75% of the country, I feel for everyone that gets their water from the Colorado (lake Mead i.e. Vegas, ca, Ariz. etc.) prayin the water holds out for the duration for those folks !! Oop !! Just seen the latest weather 100 for Sat. Sun & Mon. I already have the A/C hooked up & workin, guess I'll be watchin some shows on TV w/ lots of shade to make me feel a little cooler for a few days ?? Mighst be the West coast has their turn comin ?? Years ago the 100 deg. days didn't hit till late Aug. and very few @ that, looks like those days are over fer sher. Time to make like a popsicle. Well a hot mock chicken planned for Sunday, over 100, I'm not a steak, chicken or turkey, I live in the PNW because I thought it was once considered a temperate zone, a nice place to rust not burn, Oh well

Not a FB guy so I won't even log in,. what's ringing the bell signify ??

Wow, seen em before but never for sale and never, never 3 boxes all together like that, Wow and double wow !! Not gonna bid but very interested in the final $$ if it comes available, thanks for posting Danny !! Well I have 3 different route choices, guess I'm about as far away as one can get ?? Wait I think Brad has me beat ?? And oh I forgot I still have 50 miles left till I actually hit the sand of the west coast, so not quite as far as I can get, shortest route 2489 miles "no sweat" ...

I hope everyone has a fantastic Fathers day, especially the Father's

That ladybug's the shizzle .......

Lookin good Brother ....

The Columbia rivers running high from snow melt off, the mountains are startin to show color, the smell of fresh cut grass fills the air reminding me so much of when I was a kid. I grew up here in the PNW & except for a 4 year stint in the Navy I never left. As far as I'm concerned the most beautiful country there is. Beach, Mountains and the City all within a 50 mile radius. I had thoughts of leaving but they were only fleeting. I hope everyone has a great Summer, one that'll never be forgotten, and some great and lifelong memories are made. This site shows a few snippets of some of the places I've had the pleasure of enjoying all my life, I truly feel Blessed !!

Agree w/William, maybe Vitro but not positive ?? ..... ... for now I just wish I had smore butter !!!

Not seeing Rainbo, not sure what I see ??

x2, Agree, John Deere

Seeing regular Rainbo

x2, Vitro

Not a bifurcate, just a Rainbo, bifurcated marbles demonstrate two different colored base glasses This NLR is a Bifurcate, one half green & the other half of the base yellow.

100% Pelt NLR Tiger

Agree, Pelt Rainbo

It is a little off but I'm gonna stick w/ Peltier Multi Color Swirl (MCS) IMO as I can't think of anything else to go in any other direction with ??

Time to hit it, see everyone in a few hours ...... Have some sweet Marbelouse dreams ........................................................

Right there w/ ya Brad

Smore Handmades for this "Sundays Best" ....

Good luck Brother, & yes, I'm crying too 😢 Evidently someone loved this one a bit to much.

What a whopper man @ over 1.5" !! I have a completely undamaged and unpolished mint one @ 1&5/16ths" , any banded lutz mint or otherwise, over an inch is VVHTF the big hits in this one look very borderline as far as totally wiping out the mib, I don't think I'd attempt to have it polished myself, if all the damage was removed you'd have nothing left, just a minimal polishing will obliterate the pontils. If I planned on buying it I'd leave it as is myself, just to much damage IMO. Of course I'm not a fan of polishing, all on you Brother, a matter of perspective. Here's a couple shots of the one I have, I had to wait a while but sooner or later it presented itself. You can still see the faint tool marks right on the light reflection in the second pic, never touched, plus the pontils are completely intact w/ some slight fold marks @ either end near the pontils. This marble wasn't cheap but I guess you get what you pay for ?? As far as a price on the one for sale, I wouldn't pay much but that's just me !!

.... .... Yeah Buddy !! I see some faint concentric rings from the finishing tool on the surface of this this one as well, nice ...

Perfect Brother, just what I expected to see, and av in one of the others as well ?? You certainly got your moneys $$ worth this time, the single one w/ the heavy av is worth double what you paid for all 3 IMO

IMO means (In My Opinion) I put it there because I'm not positive about the ID, waiting for others to weigh in for a general consensus. Almost forgot "Welcome to Marble Connection Chad" ....... ..... A great place to be !!
