Well, 25-30 years ago the "wild" pickins were pretty good around here in WA. state. Now almost all jars are of solid cat eyes, & anything else is all beat up or inferior in some aspect. I live about as far away (stateside) from marble production as you can get, not counting the Vitro Anacortes site up north of me. Get em while ya can, the well will run dry there some day also !!

"Happy Slag & Swirl Saturday" Some more Heaton, I think these are called "Black Cherries"

Beauty Art !!

x2, agree w/ Ric; Popeyes, no special names I know of !!

Second looks like an "Akro Carnelian" see if it reacts to uv. it may or may not, I know ya like uv. so just an idea.

You're welcome, if I didn't have a notification I probably still wouldn't know !!

Another Great new video, hot off the presses from Stephen Bahr >>>>

Some may refer to this as being a Submarine & some not. To "me" a true submarine must have the outer colors or ribbons diving into the interior of the marble, w/ a window to view it from. "But" I've seen these sold as submarines on Ebay. In "my' opinion not a true submarine. But that's just my opinion !! I'd consider the one you have just as you stated "A translucent base Pelt" still a very desirable mib. Many will beg to differ w/ me on this but there are a few that actually have something going on inside as well as outside. Here's the vid Stephen Bahr made on the subject. This isn't a peltier but a "Christensen Submarine" I show it because it illustrates so well what I mean by the "outside" colors "diving" into the interior of the marble. Something I see as the true definition being lost in translation (stretched) somewhere. You can clearly see the outside colors diving and swirling in & around the transparent green base glass inside the mib. I realize I will get a rebuttal on this so just "my opinion"

Holy cow, the sparkler "gold mine"

Ric ??

Great collection, yes the Sparkler box is VVVHTF, condition is another issue all together. I have some pix of a nice box Charles & Chad "Mibbage" sold on their store site some years ago. The dividers don't look original but still a very rare box.

Here's ok !! Man what a nice bunch of sparklers. Do you have the box to go with ?? Just curious I see you have enough to fill one

MK is short for Marble King

"Welcome to Marble Connection Sheri" If it's about marbles or marble related you're in the right place Your mibs appear to be all cat eyes

No CAC

Nice haul Brother !!

Man, my "marble fingers" are itchin !!!!!

To all my "Akronaut" marble Friends "Happy Akro Friday"

I don't have a nipper Sulphide either Brad, don't feel like the Lone ranger. A nice find, especially in the shape it is and pretty well cantered on top of it.

I'm always looking for this sign but never have seen an original !! Always a repop !!
