OK, I see it, nice stuff. The color green is the one color that will show these little flecks most often. It has to do with the glass recipe, or the mixture of minerals invloved to make the color green than any pure intention of including AV. This one is an Asian Cat eye imho. Good eye! Marble--On!!

This one is machine made. A WVS of some sort or maker. A really nice marble that I could never ID. I have seen these before in hand--very cool! @cheese will be coming out with a book describing WVS very soon. He had a lot of help but this one( the book) is worth waiting for. I just hope that this one is included. Marble--On!!

Do not get frustated--just keep on marbling. I have set quite a few aside for future ID myself. If marbles ID was easy "TheMarbleConnection" would not be here today. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
akroorka replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Me either--pretty cool finds. I believe That Akro Agate made some glass knives. Marble--On!! -
Well worth the "Display Shelf" imho. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
-
This is a big one so that narrows it down to a few makers. I have had a few of these "olive drab" slags pass through my hands. I never did come up with a maker--just a very cool find. Marble--On!!
-
This one is a slag. Akro vs CAC is the question here imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice find regardless of the ID. Marble--On!!
-
Yep, a killer Alley Agate Swirl. Nice images! Marble--On!!
-
Hardley loaded with AV--just a few specks from un-dissolved minerals in the green. Marble--On!!
-
Been there-done that for sure. A Striped Transparent imho. ( a slag in in any other modes) Maybe German--maybe CAC--this is the question here as far as I am willing to admit. A very nice find regardless of the final ID. Marble--On!!
-
This one is not easy--it is Vitro imho and Oxblood is present as well imho. I would call it a crossover --or a marble that was made between runs of specific named marbles. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. @Ric may have some further opinions here as well as @Melissa Marble--On!!
-
Good stuff Cheese. Marble--On!!
-
I am thinking MasterMade here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice Sunburst!! imho. Marble--On!!
-
What you have is a very rare and beautiful marble. A WVS, probably an Alley Agate imho. Blue Skies?? I do not think so—maybe a variant. There is some pollution involved that knocks it out of contention. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

So------ You have two 5/8" marbles that did not seperate at the cut-off on top of the rollers-they kinda streched together to form one big orb that is usually twice the size--3/4". Or these just dropped funny onto each other--who knows for sure? These double igots will almost always show a line that is between the two that formed them together. Like "Siamese Twins", joined at the hip. ( I do not mean to offend any one here but this is the best that I could come up with--I love all folks, respect them all and never mean to direspect any one) Some times it will be all the way around--the indented line where they joined--which is what the double ingot collectors love to see. Most of the time there will be a connecting fold or line that shows where they were joined with multiple cutlines involved--x2 for sure. I have seen some bigger than 3/4" double ingots--pretty rare imh experiance. These Double ingots are mostly from the digs because they were regarded as something to toss out and out of the norm. Some had to have had to pass through inspecton ( especially on a Friday😁) Just my opinion and I appreciate them all. Marble--On!!

No, but I can be darned to remember the other/others @Al Oregon may help us out here--remembering. Marble--On!!
-
I agree with all that has been said--this one is a special MCS imho. Nice find--a cross-over between runs? Love it regardless--not too common. Marble--On!!
-
The blue and white always reminds me of a Champion made marble--I wish that I knew for sure. This type are a great thing to hold and look at--WVS for sure. Marble--On!!
-
Do not get freaked out by a cutline that looks like a pontil here. I am thinking that this one is an Alley Agate. Marble--On!!
-
Swamp things are cat eyes that resemble a Vitro "hybrid" in consruction with an almost blue, almost green base glass. They are killer marbles--get some and be rewarded. I agree with Melissa here. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
-
Acme Realor? Size??? I do not see the double here but I do see some opal. Marble--On!!
-
Vacor "Black Panther" is my call here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble-On!!
-
I would backlight this one for sure. If it glows around the perimeter and is not transparent red glass--it may be an Akro "Cornelian". Cornelians rarley show this much white--it may be a winner or just a Pelt-.😁. Nice slag what ever it is. Marble--On!!
