I agree with Ric. There are red muddies, blue muddies, and the original very nice Greenish-Blue Sapphire colored muddies,( yes I said Sapphire )and a straight up no color muddy, probably some others as well. I happen to love them all with this type of base glass--all of them. Here is a backlight image of the original--along with my favorite "Muddy" Image. I will accept it as a "Muddy" if it has this base glass. It is almost Opal--I am not quite sure though. I apreciate all opinions and welcome them. Marble--On!!

They are all Pelts Al, imho at least Two are more simple Rainbos, one is more complex imho--maybe a NLR. marble--On!! The name game with Pelts gets me confused as well. I cannot really say that "simple" or more common Rainbos make the mark as far as the "Red Bee" category goes, or the Red Dragon either with the top notch "Peltheads"(Hardcore Pelt collectors) There are plenty of "Rainbos" out there with names though. It was way easier when there were more NLR's around to find. Hardley anything was named in the "Rainbo" family then, it was NLR or bust. ( of course there was the "Miller Machine" argument as well"). I have had plenty of "Millers" pass through my hands and I still believe that they are a different marble, from a different process. When I started collecting, "Millers" were the hot item and NLR’s were just an afterthought. It was just as NLR and "Rainbos" are now. "Rainbos" are more commonly collected today because the supply of the others has melted down into collections. I would call yours "Red Bees". This is the older collectors that had an ample supply of the originals vs the newer collectors that do not. I for one will not stand in the way of the newer collectors. The "Golden Dragons" have a much brighter yellow and a more transparent red to them.(and then we get into the "Dragons"---enough said) Ramble On!! I appreciate all opinions--New collectors and old (not that old-) collectors as well. I just hope that some hard-nosed Peltheads chime in. Marble--On!!

This is the first thing that I thought of. An old Superbowl commercial. I liked it, still do! Each to their own for sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQcfK9EKfL4

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
