Yes the DR. said to wait because I may be in permanent or worse pain after the operation, just supposing things do go awry a little. Back surgery is a bit different, they want to put rods through 5 of the vertebrae in my lower back, at least partially fusing them, I really only went so far into the discussion. I have friends that wonder why they didn't get it sooner but I have a few that can barely walk, so I'm depending on the LORD to let me know "if" & "when" hopefully never !! Guess there are risks with any surgery, that's why you sign a waiver before hand, not for you but so you can't sue them if anything unforeseen should happen. Your insurance will cover you but $$ can't make you walk again. My hopes are high, everything has stopped progression for over 12 years now, so permanently I hope !!

Hmm !! Looks like one of the unidentified foreign single sided patches like the ones Joep has ?? I'm at a loss !!

Killer mibs Bill ......

Suweet, I made it !! "HAPPY PELTIER TUESDAY"

The "Bionic Man" !! No pins yet but they want to put rods in my back, many different opinions from every Doc I talk to. Maybe $$ is the driving force ?? The Dr. I trust said to wit till the pain was too much then get the surgery, makes me a little Leary but at least I have a choice.

Nearly here, the "Countdown" has begun !! 🕚

I just meant "nearly made 1 inch" it's still a Berry pink.

There is a dark red translucent almost opaque red one called a jewel that I don't have one of, hoping to score one soon but VHTF. Both pics from the "Peltier Marbles info site" & yes I'm drooling just looking at them, Peltaliciouse !!! LINK : https://www.peltiermarbles.info/

Some pics of a few of the trans, red based Pelts Peltier NLR Cherry Bomb Ruby Slipper Following Pics courtesy of the Peltier Marbles info site.

Not mine but a killer transparent, is this is what you meant by naked ?? 127/128ths, nearly made it !!

Yes !! Right on the money !! Volcano is much more common from what I gather ?? Never the less, these are now all buried under a myriad of feet of dirt & pavement or concrete, probably never to be seen again, lucky to have been able to dig them at all, my gratitude goes to all the diggers & especially the land owners for giving the go ahead to dig before they were all covered forever. I know I appreciate the people I got some from & the opportunity to own a part of American History !! Heaton Black Cherries Heaton Volcano

You're welcome Gladys, all mine have at least some damage as well, I keep them all.

All 4 just CAC swirls, no names as of yet !!

Yes Ron I see it also, looks like a Heaton Volcano in the top pic of 6, 3rd in from left to right

From your first pic, top row third from left to right, The Heaton Volcano

I see a dark purple base glass Akro slag ??

A late start, missed the big countdown but "HAPPY MARBLE KING MONDAY" Sorry for the blur 🥺 !!

"Peltier Ruby Slipper" Almost always a smaller size & nearly always has the bubble filled base, dimples and a blowout or two, a wet mint one without defect is VHTF ( Very Hard to Find )

It's almost time !! The Marble King countdown has begun. A little over 3 & 1/2 Hrs. to go 🕣

Unmistakably Master, classic pattern & colors, less is more !! I use rubber "O" rings for stands as well, they stay put & there's never any scratching or rolling off the stand.

Smore !!

Yes Liam,. so good to put a face to the name, "Again Welcome to MC" A wide variety of interests I see !! I too have started walking, not much, a couple miles in the afternoon each day but enough to keep my motor running. Seriously considering getting another mountain bike. I really enjoyed the last one I had. Chad G.

Uh Oh !! SEED !! .... .... PLANTED !! .... .... Guess we all need a little foot massage every now & then !! I can throw whole water melons with my new improved toe pinch exercises .... HUH !! .... .... I can't help myself, always the instigator but at least I'm at the root of it this time !! ( I Think?? )

Looks like good possibility of being a purple slag to me as well ?? Possibly Akro ?? Not sure, a tricky little bugger !!
