What Steph said times two. Marble--On!!

All are one inch on top of Crystal Akro Candle holders. Marble—On!!

I probably stole this from “Stephs Study Hall”—oh well, I am not an angel. Marble—On!!

Did I find the train that was abandoned? Who is in?? LOL Marble--on!!

Yep--No doubt Fire. Marble--On!!

Sorry Fire--more images are needed--more specific at least. There is a nice Alley Caligraphy in hand--the purple one. Marble--On!!

Oooohh, that is a very nice and wierd one too. "Rainbow" imho--MK. I appreciate all opinions and cherish them all. Nice find!! Marble--On!!

Funny thing, I just saw one that matches pretty close--the name and description--well, I am not a name guy. https://www.ebay.com/itm/314540079096?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160811114145%26meid%3D1e5d7f2f269b4d48bf010fc09ae01da8%26pid%3D100667%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D115772716327%26itm%3D314540079096%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2351460%26brand%3DAkro+Agate&_trksid=p2351460.c100667.m2042 Akro cullet imho Fire. Marble--On!!

In hand is always better---but--I would sort this one as a Vitro. Just my opinion--I appreciate them all and look forward to them. Marble--On!!

Too many bubbles for either imho. Are you sure that it is not a Pelt? I appreciate all opinions and welcome them. Marble--On!!

Here is a great thread from AAM. Peltier "Rainbos" rival Akro Corkscrews for the variety of colors and combinations involved. I do not blame anyone for paying up to add to their collection. It was bound to happen. There are some great Pelt Rainbos out there to be collected—just some killer Pelt Rainbos. https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24544&hilit=rainbos Marble—On!!

It sure does! Pretty cool imho. It may be a very weak slag---or a corkscrew. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Great thread! The first album that I ever purchased was The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour. The second was The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Are You Experienced. We used to go as a group back in the day to the “Great Northern Bluegrass Festival”. I am not a big Country music fan but good “Fiddle” and “Banjo” Music always hits me hard. Johnny Cash? Who can resist? I remember my first Led Zeppelin experience quite well. Probably eight grade. A friend of mine had an old stable in the back yard that his folks let him have gatherings together in the loft. Walking up the smoke filled steps, hearing the music cranked, my first question was who is this playing! I have been a huge fan ever since. I listened to the Who, Steely Dan(the greatest hits album is killer), Steppenwolf, Jethro Tull (saw them three times in concert) Pink Floyd (“Run Like Hell” is a great Track—great lyrics too). The Talking Heads( “Stay up Late” is a great track) The Rolling Stones—nuff said( my wife saw them in concert) AC-DC, The list goes on. Who can forget “Foghat”? The Kaiser Chiefs, David Bowie, Queen, The Doors, Pearl Jam, ZZ Top, Nirvana(the best “unplugged” album ever) I have Alexa play Beatles music while I cook, I like it all. Here are a few that I listen to often. The “Live at Pompeii” Album is a great one. One is a tribute to my Great Grandson, it just fits right in. Read the lyrics as you listen imho. I like live music, few can pull it off. The last one plays in my mind way too often these days. My Wife hates them—my Mini Cooper loves them—so do I and when I am alone I might just take a few more turns than necessary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTseTg48568 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El4AEHR1ANw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD-MdiUm1_Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTrQ7vUZsIohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTrQ7vUZsIo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al0H0nK7Dao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hamKl-su8PE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbD_kBJc_gI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6YaJMrmxFM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CrBqRb3VGM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBZs_Py-1_0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45cYwDMibGo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNB8WxiHarM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygh2zWw2glY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwPWGUhEtP0

I would sort this one as a Vitro. I appreciate all opinions and welcome them. Marble--On!!

Vitro works for me. It may be a big Aqua--I just do not know for sure. Marble--On!

Ummmm---look towards Mexico imho Marble--on!!

Pelt--no doubt! Marble--On!!

@Steph would know--chime in Steph. Marble--On!!

Just an addition--@3/4" very cool--whatever it is? Marble--On!!

Another tuff one imho. Is there any transparency to it? I am thinking Akro at this size. Marble—on!!

This one is intense. Some fracturing is involved--I looked through my books. It has to be an Alley imho. No names from me. I appreciate all opinions and look forward to them. Nice marble! Marble—on!!

Thank you--enough said---for all of us here on the "Marble Connection". Marble--on!!

This is a tuff one. I am seeing some UV reaction--am I right? Marble--On!!

Nope! Marble--on!!

Here are a few that I sorted out of some recent purchases. I do not believe that I have had an “Unglazed China” before this—maybe, the clays etc. go to my wife for her displays—I lose track then. The Handmade glass one—pretty nice. I am just not into them and I would trade it for any corkscrew in a minute. Who does not like a Bennington, The Chickadees’ of the marble world; everyone likes them—Am I wrong? If someone told me “take one for free”—I would take the “Bennie”. Each to their own—this is why we all like this stuff, we are all different in our tastes but we still all get along rather well in this forum. I appreciate all that collect these cute little orbs no matter their favorites. I try to stay on top of it all—I never will but I will continue to try. I contribute to any post when I can. Marble—On!!
