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 !!

Peltier (MCS) = Multi Color Swirl, IMO

.... Nice Big Uns Bill .... ....

Trying to start an AV manufacture & or artist ID forum. If you have any mibs that you suspect as having aventurine in them please post a pic w/ the manufacture or artist if ya know it. A Pelt and an unknown contemp. to start. Peltier Tiger under natural sunlight Same mib artificial light Contemporary w/ aventurine & lutz, unknown artist The signature & date, 08 is all I'm sure of so as of yet I don't know who the artist is ??

100% not polished or buffed, untouched IMO, I can still see the faint marks left on the surface of the marble by the finishing tool , you got some great marbles Brother, "WOW" one even has av. "fantastic" definitely a VVVHTF keeper, that or any amount of av in a coat is very rare, great vid man, even shows visible concentric finishing tool marks in several places on the surface of the marble, exactly what I was looking for & would expect to see on an untouched surface Here you can still see the faint reflection of the finishing tool marks in the biggest light reflection !! Man what a killer coat !!! Cha Ching $$$ Top of the top shelf as far as Joseph Coats go, congratulations Brother Can you post a few shots of these back or underlit to show the passage of light through & between the colored ribbons ??
