This one is not an easy ID Steph. I resign--lol. Marble--On!!

This is a very nice Vitro imho. Nice clear glass is involved here--a joy to look at. Marble--On!!

OMG--This one shows "Pocket Wear"--very cool!! What a great find! It may be one of "Those"----a rare Vitro imho. The cutlines define this one imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. A nice share regardless of the ID. Very nice--well cropped images as well. Thanks for that from all of us here @TheMarbleConnection Marble--On!!

Yep--just the green thing that is unabsorbed mineral stuff that just makes it a very cool marble—not intentional—just cool to find and share with us here. This is a great group, nice images as well. Marble—On!!

40 years, I love it—well, I have been around awhile too and I have never seen one like this one. I respect Randy’s opinion for sure. If you trust him, send it to him for a proper ID. This one even includes some Akro Oxblood imho--a very cool marble even in the normal size. It would be more believable if it were measured @ 9/16”. There is always a measure of “ones that were missed” by quality control. These smaller ones never act the same as the larger ones. Generally when you find a "Sparkler" this small, it has been re-worked or polished--a bummer from my perspective. Yours has obviously not been re-worked. You keep this one apart and if you ever get to a Marble—Show—take it along for an ID. Nice marble—I will stick with Akro—a “Sparkler. This is my best---- Marble—On!!

A peewee "Sparkler"? Not a real common find imho. I can tell that it is so by the way that it sit's on your "Flower Frog". I have many "Flower Frogs"--a good "sit" for any marble for sure. Great find--great share!! Marble--On!!

Grazie Roberto👍.

I agree with Tommy here. Champion. Nice marble--just not a CAC. Thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!
-
I agree with Akro--not an "Aqua" but a Blue slag. Be carefull with these, Vacor makes a very similar slag--"Bluejay"? Nice marble here though imho. We appreciate the well cropped images for sure. Marble--On!!

Is anyone attracted to agates or mineral marbles?
akroorka replied to Roberto's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I have always appreciated the faceted agates. I know that @bumblebee does too. I will never forget the images of workers lying on their stomachs in California, grinding these down and polishing them. It is amazing, the amount of hits that one of these can take and still stay intact. I love to back light this type knowing that they really destroyed a lot of the glass marbles that we all enjoy today. Here are a few images. Marble—On!! -
The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

Pretty cool Melissa, The images are just "Killer". A very nice find---. Marble--On!! -
I agree but slide towards "Rainbo" here. Marble--On!!
-
X2-- Nice images. Marble--On!!
-
Kokomo sounds right here. Marble--On!!
-
I agree with Alley Agate. Marble--On!!
-
These are more than likely "Game Marbles" or those that were inculded in a Game that used marbles as place makers such as "Chinese Checkers". Marble--On!!

You keep coming back Brittney Banker, and show us what you have. Marble--On!!
-
I would sort it an Akro--no oxblood here imho. It may have come from under the ground, not that that matters. Nice share though. Marble--On!!
-
X2-- Nice marble! Marble--On!!
-
"Transparent base" would be more proper here. "Clear" would mean just that--no color and some of yours show a "blueish tint" in the transparent part. These appear to be that of an Asian maker imho. Nice colors are involved and they appear to be from the early era of Cateyes. Nice images! Nice Marbles!
-
Size matters here--not around the marble (Circumference) but the Diameter my marble collecting friend. I would only blame these on one company at around one inch in Diameter--Alley Agate. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!! Marble--On!!

Let's consider the last image here Brittney Baker. From left to right--a Peltier "Rainbo", a WVS or "West Virginia Swirl" (no maker from me--it may be a Jabo) and another Peltier "Rainbo". Nice marbles, nice images as well. Marble--On!!

You keep them coming laero21. Welcome to "TheMarbleConnection", the oldest marble post on this Planet. Marble--On!!

Just some snow--cool to watch and experience a "Blizzard" though. I have seen five or six Blizzards in my life—my wife and I met during one—we got stuck—lol. Wisconsin is a very cool state to live in! Marble--On!!
