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 !!

Chad G. replied to Peltier Mibber's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Nice drizzle, if I had one place to pin it I would say Alley just looking at the colors. -
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.
-
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 ??
-
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.

I tried earlier & couldn't find it, "Thanks man" yes about as good a post on the subject as it gets !!
-
"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"
-
"Your welcome" I wish they had continued it also, maybe different sizes etc......

One of my few & first childhood regrets Brad, over the hill they went after kissing the leather strap of my slingshot. Even the ones I got from "Great Grandpa" as a kid. I'm not sure exactly what all they were but the high point of his collection probably ended in the early teens. He gave them to me at 8 years old 51 yrs ago & they were gone in minutes. My grandfather passed in 2013 at 97, gave me his shortly after Great grandpa & they met the same fate. I think everyone has the "If Only" thing from their childhood.

I got that UV. light at harbor freight Tommy, thanks for the lead. An 11/16ths+" royal blue base I just got, part of some I ran into.
