The Heaton’s have thinner lines of ox for sure----yours are very well covered, most are one sided imho. I may well get blown out of the water on this ID---this is the opinion of one that does not know WVS very well. I just do my best and I always expect the best in retort. We will always agree to disagree here. I just love this stuff!! Marble—On!!

There is a lot going on for a 5/8” marble here Gladys. I would not say ugh at all. It may be a Pelt.----Just my humble opinion of course---more input is needed and welcomed. Nice—no UGH marble!! Marble—On!!

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes---They are all very, very nice ones Gladys. Keep them coming---killer marbles for sure. You never disappoint with your images! Marble--On!!

Gladys, If this is a Heaton---it is a very nice one👀. No Akro here and I have seen these types come out of Heaton boxes. Marble--On!!

Champion?---I have no idea, I just like typing Champion once in awhile. Marble--On!!

It could be a "clearie" with some added zing. That is why I "backlight them all"😁. Marble--On!!

Dyed Agate is the correct term. Yours may just be natural imho. Marble--On!!

Nice one! Marble--On!!

Master Cats? Marble--On!!

Orange Oxblood?—that first tray is mind boggling Mibcapper. This is a first sighting for me---I wonder how that happened, or what makes it occur. All are very nice, top shelf for sure. Akro—On!!

This is why I backlight them all. Marble--On!!

If you have an opinion --- post it! We all agree to disagree here--Thanks, and as always-- Marble--On!!

Yes---Peltier Rainbo----Nice colors--imho. Marble--On!!

Thanks Al, I at least think that at the very least Mojo is on the right track. These yellow Akro snakes do show up with a white "Tracer" (RIP Gino Biffany). Da Roberto shows a very good argument, a great one in fact. I am on the fence with this one--it hurts to be on the fence. Regardless of the maker--it is very close to being an Akro and it is a well thought out ID By Mojo, also a great response by Da Roberto. Nice marble!! Marble—On!!!

I think that this one is a machine made slag and it may be one from many makers. The bubble pop is a tell for me---more opinions are needed of course---and appreciated. Nice images! I think Akro. Marble—On!!

That Opal is killer--thanks for sharing Gladys. Very nice images--- Marble--On!!!

Killer images Gladys, the one in the big crystal mass is very cool. Marble--On!!

Here is my light box my friend, simple but effective. I forgot to add that the hole in the top is slightly offset so the light is not directly below the hole. I just made it out of scrap that I had lying around. Some nice old pine though. Marble—On!!

I believe that this one is a Vacor "Leopard". If it has an oily,chromic,bright finish---it is one Marble--On!!

Slag vs Swirl? It’s hard to get a handle on these sometimes. Try some images on top of a strong light. I made a wooden light box years ago with a 1/2 hole drilled into the top, I left two sides open to help dissipate the heat. I installed a bright full spectrum light about six inches below the hole ( I am using a white spectrum LED now😁). The marbles fit so no light escapes except through the marble itself. You can spin the marble around without any damage being done to it and you can also take images this way. These dark marbles will reveal themselves and many marbles are easily inspected this way ( AV, Inclusions, a trace of Ox, etc ) I think that yours may be an Akro slag----imho of course. Backlight them all!! Marble--On!!

That orange Michelangelo is off the charts! Frosted Hurricanes--not too common---nice! Nice find for sure Mojo. Marble--On!!

The Master Chief in his spare time.

Very cool Mojo! Marble--On!!

These are Vacor “Jaguar” marbles, I opened a net for these images. (It did take some time) If you do not have any—get some and be rewarded. All opinions aside—these are my favorite cats that I have from any maker past or present. The closest to a “Master Made Tiger Eye” that will be found. KILLER KATS!!!---just killer!! Marble—On!!

Akro X2---nice one! Marble--On!!
