You're Welcome....................................

A Peltier NLR Red Zebra has 4 red ribbons on a white base, exactly what yours has on one side. The other side is kind of wonky though, the ribbons don't meet, no broken cork or checkerboard pattern ?? Kinda messed up but still a Red Zebra They can vary quite a bit in size and so forth but the basic structure remains the same unless you are dealing with a "Miller Machine Example" with patience & time you will become atoned to identifying them. AN OLD PIC FROM MY FRIEND TERRYS SITE COMLPLIMENTS OF "LEE'S LEGENDARY MARBLES A LARGE 15/16ths EXAMPLE FOR SALE RIGHT NOW ON Ebay. I COUNT 2 SEAMS SO NOT A MILLER (maybe) BUT SIMILAR & HUGE. TO BE CONSIDERED A TRUE MILLER THEIR SUPPOSED TO HAVE ONLY ONE SEEM. If you want to take a look at the full Ebay listing here it is: LINK : https://www.ebay.com/itm/294109166424?mkevt=1&mkcid=1

Agree with Steph "Translucent" or "Semi Opaque" not "Transparent"
-
Agree, with Ric, a lot of work, very confusing to have to go back & forth 15 or 20 times. I would say 3 marbles per post to eliminate confusion & increase the accuracy & speed of the I.D., you'll probably get a lot more responses also " Thanks"

Way to go, I thought Joe's stuff was gone forever. I've used his site off and on for years. Thank you so much for posting it here Steph " Fantastic" Cool back onto my favorite's bar it goes

Have to agree with Steph on this one also, I see Pelt.
-
As I do as well, Peltier, as a matter of fact closer to the dual color one I had than Bills.

Yours I would say is Asian made, the veins appear to cross through but if you look closely in the center of the marble the color ends temporarily before returning on the other side. AS far as I know Marble King made the original U.S. version of the Crosthrough, I believe they only had 4 veins and the colors actually do cross through, Generally larger marbles, "Steph" has some good ones she has pictures of & is much more knowledgeable on them than I am. I think the MK cross through's were made at the St. Mary's location?? The two I have posted are both Asian, probably Japanese, you can see where the colored veins end pretty easily on the R,W,G a little harder to see on the B.R,W. Some of the cats are moving up, MK painted turtles, cross throughs, Vitro are all beginning to go up in value. Some are truly beautiful marbles, the MK painted turtles are my favorites with the thick multi colored veins of the Hybrid Vitro's coming in second. The third pic is a Vitro just to give you an idea of what I was talking about. Fourth & 5th pics are some MK painted turtles for sale on Ebay right now, they come in many different colors just like every other cat. Stephen Bahr is a member here & has made several YouTube marble I.D. vids, the first is his home page link and contains all his vids, the second is specifically on cats eyes. These vids are well made & will give you a good jump start on marble I.D.'s "Have fun William" !!

"Thanks Chuck" got some in the dug Heaton I received, hard to forget a marble like that, I was going to say Cairo on the yellow one but I have a hard time with Cairo & Alox both.
-
Akro aqua "onyx corkscrew" MF Christensen slag Heaton ?? Not absolutely sure, tip of my tongue ?? Have a great day with your family William.

Try shots of both ends, followed by quarter turn shots of the sides as you rotate it if you could Tommy ??
-
I'll go with Peltier, somewhere in the citrus family ?, maybe a citrus tree ?? Definitely a keeper !! Outstanding marble.
-
Nice nuggets Roby ...... I really like the blue one !!
-
I remedied most of my plastic toys with gasoline or matches. Plastic burns good and makes killer bombs to drop on other toys !! Those bags of 100 army men burned the best, great fiery mortar material for the tanks and jeeps.

"You're welcome William" he's just starting to get really interested in gemstone, been collecting marbles for years & you the opposite but both hobby's led to each other. I just has to post some of his work, I consider him one of te top polymer artists I know of, no machines or resins all hand done. I myself am just starting to get interested in crystals, geodes, etc...... as known one thing truly does lead to another, I collect antique toys, marbles, knives, marble related objects, books, guns, etc........ I only have a few thunder eggs & geodes some stray crystals, fire opal & a few others I got from my cousin in Idaho, he used to string off & search the desert out near Boise where he grew up for gemstones & artifacts, especially arrowheads. By the way your crystals, broken or not are "Great" I may get a rock saw, my Grandfather lived in Arizona & had one he was going to give me years ago but then I had no interest in stones or minerals, if given the same opportunity now I would have jumped at the chance. "Thanks for sharing" Looking forward to more !!
