I "think" a second, third or even fourth >>>>> opinion is crucial, been collecting for quite a while and still learning something new almost every day (things change) You are always welcome, Glad to have you, have pix or comments ?? Post away
Yes !! An NLR, Red Bee is correct if the the red ribbons contain no a. Aventurine being a requirement for a "Ruby Bee" . "Red Bees" contain no av. though they can look the same structure and color wise. The av in a Ruby Bee can be very slight and fine, often taking a loupe to see, BTW another very nice marble
Yeah !! all Pelts, a "ruby slipper" is transparent red base while a "ruby bee" is opaque yellow base & yes your right on the money, the latter does have to have av. to be considered a "ruby bee" BTW, nice mibs Cole
Banded coreless, many of the old handmades have air bubbles (trapped gas) yes the colored base glass is a definite plus but not rare just uncommon. A pic of a 9/16ths I really like, also w/ a colored base. Nice marble Jeremy, handmades were the beginning of my marble quest & still one of my favorites.

There is also a search bar on the upper R hand side of your screen should you have any particular marble related subject you'd like to query.

One of my all time favorite Pelt types for this "Sundays Best" a 23/32nds NLR tiger, not the heaviest av in the world but the biggest I have & a nice clean mib. The apparent bubbles are all subsurface and never quite made it to the top "luckily"
Look @ this car wreck !! I haven't a clue where to even start ?? It's a ???? Two different bases, the white looks almost veneered, 3 colors, I give up !!
