  1. That is a cool bubble. As I understand it, the longer the glass is “cooked” the fewer/smaller the bubbles would be. There are of course exceptions to every rule, that is just the nature of marble making. Marble—On!!
  2. I was just lucky today. I got a few shots of a nice Yellow Swallowtail on my “Giant Joe-Pye Weed”. I plant for Butterflies and this is a bonus. I fear that the Swallowtails are in a bad way because they rely on Ash trees which have been decimated by the Emerald Ash Borer. I have had hundreds of Ash cut down in my area in the last year. Those yellow ones in the background are cup plants—same with them. I am no giant—6’ and shrinking, but these plants are just huge, tall and they support very many pollinators. Get some and enjoy they are the easiest I have grown in any perennial, just mulch them heavy, they like the wetness. Garden—On!!
  3. Still chewing on that bag--good ruffage. Marble--On!!
  4. OK, I give up, it was fun while it lasted. Nice MK! The bag is pretty tasty with a little butter and salt. Marble—On!!
  5. This is all that I can say. If this marble was in my possession I would call it a Vitro with Oxblood. I would be hard pressed to call it anything else. Whether it was intentional or not is another thing. MKs and Pelts among others show up with “unintentional” oxblood striping or blotches of Oxblood. It is just the way of the world in the marble making industry. Finding oxblood like this is a bonus and a cool thing to find. That is a very cool marble for sure. Marble—On!!
  6. I won't lie, I looked up the definition for epergne. A very cool piece af art for sure. Oxblood On!!
  7. I am always excited to be here---keep them coming and---- Marble--On!!
  8. Ther are few that are boring--Backlight them all!!😁 Marble--On!!
  9. Well, time for me to eat some popcorn---out of the bag of course. If this is a MK-- I will eat my--shopping bag. All opinions are more than welcomed. Marble--On!!
  10. Lets back up on this one and consider Vitro. It is not an Akro imho. All opinions opposed are welcomed--as a matter of fact --all opinions are welcomed. I am far from always right--this is just a gut feeling. Marble--On!!
  11. chicagocyclist--now that is a brave term--welcome and be very carefull--lol. That is a very nice marble! Marble--On!!
  12. That is a nice box for sure. I X’ed the ones that either need a turn or do not qualify as Pelt imho. You have a great start!! All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble—on!!
  13. Very Nice Tommy--very nice! Great images as well!! Marble--On!!
  14. Not at all but😁---when you "backlight them all", transparent colored marbles can get quite interesting especially when you are running out of marbles to sort (it has been awhile for me). Marble—On!!
  15. Good eye William, Vacor Sunsets come less filled, more filled and in-between filled just like the Master Marbles that they often get confused with. I can roll with Vacor on this one. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!
  16. I agree with Steph and commit to Vitro on the top right one. The bottom right may have Oxblood but I would have to see better images to confirm that. As always, more opinions are welcomed. Marble—On!!
  17. I am OK with calling the last two Akro. The one on the far right may light up under UV light. Nice group! Marble—On!!
  18. Or a "Transparent" with a lot of action🙃. Marble--On!!
  19. The white based one might be a unicorn—Vacor Unicorn that is. Marble—On!!
  20. Probably sold in "Imperial" packaging of some sort. From the Far East. Marble--On!!
