I like the second upside down one, good amount of ox for a limeade, a great mib !!!

A lot of Vitro's Bonnie, my fav. beautiful nice fat multi colored hybrids, yeah buddy, nice !!

I don't collect them either but I sure ended up with amess of them, every time I bought a lot or went to an estate sale and got some there was always Akro in there so I decided I would keep the best and sell or give away the rest, well the rest is starting to build up or creep up on me A very nice multi Ric, man those really used to draw the $$ anything over 3 colors really set Akro collectors off. Nice and wet, I see why you kept it.

Both classic familiar old favorites. Happy, Happy, Happy !! A few dimples never hurt and only add to the character of the marble for me.

I know I've already posted this one but the oxblood in it is near black, an almost anemic type color, all my other blue aces have the lighter colored ox. a pic of it alone and beside a regular colored one for comparison. " Oop's" Happy Akro Friday all.

Mmmm !! yes I need a fresh infusion, soon !! " Infusion " I feel like a vampire or somethin 👿

if you cant see through the black streaks when backlit it's still oxblood just exposed to high heat a little to long " Burnt" I been told if you get it hot enough for long enough it will break down all the way and become clear.

I'm in need a fresh batch myself, it's beginning to turn into a rash. I better and get some as soon as possible before welts appear and I break out in pelt bumps.

I agree with you on those Bill but the black ones I have I believe aren't, but I'm still gonna post em to give everyone a good look see. When I figure out how to download these stupid pics or someone does it for me. Hmmm, if I'm having someone else download for me then the stupid one is....

What ?? No popcorn allowed Bill, not fair!! and not like any rainbows I've seen ?? let alone pelts !! That popcorn must be laced with somethin ??

I know, I know, I need to take some pics, it's just so easy to hit them all at once but you don't get the enjoyment like the individual pics. Therefore I will start again. By the way thanks for sharing Ric !! nice mib.

I know all perspective at this point until someone starts to do chemical analysis on the glass or look at the glass structure through an electron microscope. That's going a long ways, I think I'll stick to collecting what I like. Although it does spark a little interest. I don't have a clue about the mibs above, they certainly have the banana structure going, the black ones some do some don't ?? I really, truth be known, don't feel pelt but will hold onto a few just in case. Maybe some pics later ??

Do you have any black bananas ?? I have some 5/8ths but they seem a little different than the other pelt bananas I have. I'm just wondering if they're really pelt ??

Those are the ones I like, the hybrids Vitro made, Beautiful, I do still have a few, nice fat puffy veins as you said "stuffed" I call em "fat n pudgy"

Thanks Ric, I had and I'm not kidding, thousands of them I got with a large lot I purchased that had all the way form handmades & pelts to christensen and akro, I had to dig through 7& 1/2 gallons of marbles to get the good ones out $150.00 I think they just didn't collect and wanted to get rid of them. When I was done sorting a couple days later I had almost 5 gallon's of cats left plus the cats I already had at home. So I sold and gave away every one I had at the time, "not good" even for cats when you have that many from every company known there's gonna be some good ones in there. The ones I miss the most are the hybrid vitro I had. Those are the ones I already collected, the multi colored vein ones that fetch all the money now, but not about money, I liked them. I love collecting marbles "yes" but when it's to the point you have so many you're walking on them a decision has to be made. Boy all that over a cat eye, Hmmmm !!! Ah no regrets, I still have a few nice ones. Thanks again Ric

I received a bunch of Heaton from the dig and instead of posting the knowns I'm going to post the oddball unknown and off base ones I found, Maybe a week after Christmas, or maybe before but right in there, some real different marbles for sure. Not the classic Heaton look.

Hi Steph, Just checking to see if my emoji works here Yep, it's not working in the message center !! 😴 NOo problem

Is you're message center full Roby ?? it says you can't receive any messages, you might want heck ?? Chad

Yes an anealing fracture, Hello Roby

Yes they are fractured, I was thinking fried but I don't see the usual rainbow of colors in the fracture from the heat. So yes they are broken, watch out for pieces falling off, separate them from your other mibs so they don't scratch them. If I where you I would toss them.

Here's a load, by the time I'm done I'm not sure about the fun part ?? But there is a need to know so here goes. Some are shown with uv light and some both, but trust me these are all highly uv reactive.

Nice Banana Bill !! Boy pelt sure named that one right.

Peltier banana cat probably

Call it a prize name, the size is no relevance unless you have a rare one like a Jolly Roger, Given a specialized name by collectors for it's rarity and great size. This is Bill MCcaleb's ( mibcapper ) marble at 1 1/4" a whopper, 99% of the time this particular marble always has the orange peel surface which is sought after more than the smooth one. You can see more pics of it on the( HTF prize/2 colors) thread right here on MC. "Orange peel" a perfect name for the surface, looks just like one. I could almost eat it yummy !!! Wish you had a rare one Bonnie, but still a keeper, those big ones always got played with more, so finding one with a mint surface like that is a chore in itself. Different variations of a color are still that color just a different shade, so yes as Steph said a 2 color (prize name) I agree 100% with Steph.
