On the other hand, there are several instances of players seeing moons as highly desirable, even necessary. Weare Holbrook writes in 1940: And although flaws in an agate did not enhance its desirability, 'moons' were something else again; they were scars acquired in long and faithful service, a visible proof of prowess exhibited as proudly as the saber cuts on the face of a Heidelberg student.3) The author of this 1953 newspaper article describes how when he was a boy: …you wanted moons in your agates. You treasured them. They were proof your agate was the real thing. 4) This 1908 poem contains a stanza about a new agate being proven 'right' by adding moons: Then Guy Fuller bought an "agate," And to prove it was "right," He would throw it hard against a stone; "Half-moons" you'd see of white, On the other hand, another writer in 1921 says too many moons was not desirable: At the time we played marbles an agate should have two or three moons in it to prove it was genuine, but its value was lessened by a larger number. 5) But another author in 1921 says that agates: …were the mark of opulence and the more 'moons' they had in them the more valuable they were regarded. No agate was worth anything until it had some 'moons' in it. 6) If this sentiment was true nationally in America for a significant period of time, no doubt agate owners spent time ensuring their agates were covered in moons even if not from official play. 'Repairing' Moons Those who disliked moons were able to temporarily but effectively obscure moons by soaking an agate in lard overnight, or by boiling an agate in lard. Oil would seep into the porous agate and fill the moon fracture space, obscuring the damage for a time. This trick was also reportedly used by unscrupulous gemstone dealers who used it to obscure flaws in opals.7) This technique was reportedly used by unscrupulous players to deceive opponents into thinking an agate up for “keeps” or for trade was pristine. While the lard method has been proven effective, other substances are also mentioned by article writers as being effective at obscuring moons, though vinegar seems dubious: Buttermilk Coal oil Cream Vinegar Awesome read ...thanks again 👍
