Not at all butš---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). MarbleāOn!!

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!!

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. MarbleāOn!!

I am OK with calling the last two Akro. The one on the far right may light up under UV light. Nice group! MarbleāOn!!

Or a "Transparent" with a lot of actionš. Marble--On!!

The white based one might be a unicornāVacor Unicorn that is. MarbleāOn!!

Probably sold in "Imperial" packaging of some sort. From the Far East. Marble--On!!

It will help no doubt--Nice group! Put a name on these Vitros. More opinions are needed. Marble--On!!

I believe that the OP is a Vacor Stingray/Sky. They were produced in different shades of blue. MarbleāOn!!

That is a nice Vitro on the left. Exotic Conqueror? More opinions are needed. Marble--On!!

Akro Cornelians are and odd marble. In hand under direct light they will show no transparency, they appear to be opaque even though you may see some subsurface white just underneath the surface. If you backlight them they will show through and in many cases you can see internal structure. They are a semi opaque marble. I have never seen one with any purely transparent glass involved. I have one that I keep with my Cornelians that displays like a red āFlintieā when backlitāopalescent. If any transparent glass is displayed I would call the OP a well filled slag------ Just to add to the confusion, Cornelians were called āBricksā by collectors in the early days of machine made collecting. The OP is not a Brick. MarbleāOn!!

Here is a 25mm (about 1ā) Vacor Atmosphere for my Sundayās best. I just love these little hard to find devilsāthis is a good one. The first set is in my light room and the second set is under overcast sunlight. MarbleāOn!!

That is a good question. I just lit up an original unopened Jabo bag with UV light and both orange and yellow glowers were inside. So, they were made close enough together to be packaged together. I guess that says something. It may have been years apart between runs but who knows? I also hit a Vitro bag (when they were a division of Jabo) with UV light and only orange glow emmited. MarbleāOn!!

The OP is an odd one and I am a little surprised that MK was not mentioned, consider it done. More opinions are needed and welcomed. MarbleāOn!!

I would eat it in a minute--or three over coals. I love the throwback it will spawn and grow many more. Fresh water fish--what a blessing!
