Chad G.

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 ??

Please post any pictures of your favorite Contemporaries & the artist if you know who it is, even if you don't know who it is a good pic of the signature & date may give others the clues they need for a positive ID. I'll post one by David Salazar to get things rolling, this one he calls (called) "Angel Fish" also leaving a link in case you are interested in anymore of his glass work. David's been doing this for nearly 50 years so a very well known & seasoned artist. LINK : https://salazarglass.com/

"Happy Slags & Swirls Saturday" This was one of my favorite marbles, I decided it was time to pass it on and share it's beauty w/ a fine marble Brother, a contemporary rendering of a Tiger w/ some gold lutz swirled in.

Goodyear is my tire of choice, smothered in creamy rich fish sauce ...

A site dedicated to putting cremains in almost anything glass including marbles. LINK: https://www.spiritpieces.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=DBWideOpenAndCheapQ42018&source_id=google&sub1=

Thank you Craig for reposting the link & all your hard work and continuing support of the marble community, the site is a longstanding & valuable reference asset for us all.

Salright William, it slipped my mind for a while as well

The GOOD, The BAD , The UGLY & The FAKE: An example of those felt marker "fakes" the seller has several different ones for sale, I think they have their second grader doing the official artwork ?? A heads up for any newbie, these are 100% "fakes" drawn on clays w/ a felt marker. LINK : https://www.ebay.com/itm/284860089612?hash=item4252fc050c%3Ag%3AdAEAAOSw7WhirMEL&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=

Now ya know how much I desire liver & onions, considering he's cooking a rubber hand it probably smells like burning tires, yummy !!

Sleep well Brother ...

All hands on deck ......

The UGLY, a bunch of "rare" contemporaries ... ... (not) I even see a white based Vacor in the mix ?? I guess finches and sparrows are classified as "rare" birds now LINK : https://www.ebay.com/itm/354113680280?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338722076&customid=&toolid=10050

Current set for sale THE GOOD, bag along w/ the box & inserts I believe to be orig. but I highly doubt the mibs are, still an old beauty IMHO LINK : https://www.ebay.com/itm/265734603839?hash=item3ddf04443f%3Ag%3ABwIAAOSwSKFipo2X&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=

I'll be sure and just send the mental part ....

All perspective Brother, Id have bought them also, we'll know when ya post the pix, under mag 10-20x you'll be able to see if they've been buffed. Personally IMO I think you did well.
