    Mk?

    Have to agree with Steph on this one also, I see Pelt.
  2. As I do as well, Peltier, as a matter of fact closer to the dual color one I had than Bills.
  3. 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" !!

  4. "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.
  5. Akro aqua "onyx corkscrew" MF Christensen slag Heaton ?? Not absolutely sure, tip of my tongue ?? Have a great day with your family William.
  6. Try shots of both ends, followed by quarter turn shots of the sides as you rotate it if you could Tommy ??
  7. I'll go with Peltier, somewhere in the citrus family ?, maybe a citrus tree ?? Definitely a keeper !! Outstanding marble.
  8. Nice nuggets Roby ...... I really like the blue one !!
  9. 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.
  10. "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 !!
  11. Here's the pics of the spheres, artifacts and marbles my friend collects. The marbles & artifacts he made by hand from polymer. MOSS AGATE MEXICAN CRAZY LACE MADAGASCAR SILK AGATES COYOMITO AGATES LAGUNA AGATE SOME OF THE ARTIFACTS HE MAKES FROM POLYMER & THE AGATES IN THE BACKGROUND HE CALLS THESE SUNDANCE AGATES ALSO FROM POLYMER SMOTHERED IN AV. ONE OF HIS BOX COVERS & LOGO NAME ANOTHER BOX COVER HE DESIGNED A BOX OF THE FLAME MARBLES HE MAKES, ALL HAVE SPARKLING AV. IN THEM THIS IS ONE FROM A BOX OF 3 DIFFERENT KINDS OF POLYMERS HE MADE FOR ME A PIC OF ONE OF THE BOXES I GOT FROM HIM, I LOVE EM
  12. Here, Here !! The joys of childhood.
  13. I agree with you on # 3 Akro Steph, I think I was stuck on stupid last night !!
  14. 1. marble king 2. vitro 3. vitro ??
  15. Nice drizzle, if I had one place to pin it I would say Alley just looking at the colors.
  16. Yes sites, Didn't mean anything by sides Steph just two different forums, I'm am a member on both and have friends on both forums, not trying to ruffle any feathers at all, sorry for the misused vocabulary, I post links to this forum on the other as well, it's all about shared information for the benefit of us all, I was just saying there's stuff here that isn't there and stuff there that isn't here, just a note about sharing, if anything was misunderstood I do apologise.
  17. I tried to get some of the old threads from here, I searched here first, they were great but as you said Steph missing a lot of pics,, part there part not. This was and still is my first go to, over time things are talked about many times and will turn up again with new pics. Now the info from there is here via the link, as I take it , it should be shared with the marble community as a whole anyway so we all can benefit from it. There's stuff here that isn't there & visa versa. I have great friends on both sides, that's the main get go for me is "Fun"

    No need to be sorry William, I'm just easily confused, I should have copied and pasted like Steph did ?? Yeah I like that green transparent Pelt Rainbo ?? I have no idea what the seedy looking green one is though, just can't tell from the pics ?? The # 6 marble you have pictured. it might be a master or a weird Kokomo (just because of the seedy looking glass) but I really can't tell ??
  19. Did you get a rock saw or just a tumbler ?? By the way "love them Madagascar" my buddy has been buying large quantities of it from China along with some lace & moss agate and a bit of quartz, he makes artifacts, I'll get some pics if I can & post em here for ya to take a peek at.

  22. "Thanks Tommy" The light isn't bad for a "Harbor Freight Product" I usually go there when a "one & done" application is needed. "WOW" that was weird, I posted this right after you uv. flashlight comment and it jumped to here in front of the slag post ?? Oh yeah!! "HAPPY AKRO FRIDAY EVERYONE"
