I have not seen an explanation on this type of marble. They look like a Vitro but they have an oily sheen to them—metallic like. Maybe someone can give us both an idea of just what you have there. I have come across these once in awhile and never ventured a guess as to the maker. Marble—On!!

Worthless to many but I'll bet that if it was laying on the ground, most of us here would pick it up and put it in our pocket😃 You are far from being the only nerd here lol. Marble--On!!

This one looks like a factory discard to me, a WVS swirl of some sort. The imbedded dirt along with the factory flaw points towards it coming out of the ground. I just call them like I see them. Marble—On!!
-
This one is a slag. It has a little Peltier like action but it could be one of many. I will have to do a search for a cool nut—love it! Marble—On!!

Anything named "Jasper" is a winner in my book. Great marble Ric!!
-
It is a beauty DaRoberto. You may have this one pegged, I have never really seen anything like it. Very nice! As always, more opinions are needed. Marble--On!!
-
Not an easy find without damage in my experience. They must have been a popular thing to shoot. Nice ones for sure Chad!! Marble--On!!

OK, The nut threw me off. It is looking more like a Vacor on this pass. More opinions are needed of course. Marble--On!!
-
This example is either a very good reason why the Pelt-heads have an issue with Vacors or-- it is a Pelt. I vote Pelt on this one—just sayin!! (the nut is getting a bit of rust--clean it up please😁) Marble—On!!!

These do glow like an Akro for sure. This color will also display feathering in the base glass where there is no white. It is a very cool marble to collect and look at. I love this type--great marble Chad!!

I am sure that there is Fire--search and be rewarded---backlight them all!! Marble--On!!

Steph, My “Garage” cat was on his thirteenth life last spring. I decided to let him live out his life as he would have it. He was in no pain—just very sick and old, my Vet agreed with my decision. He would not drink, eat, move etc. I mixed up some canned tuna with water, strained it and fed it to him via a liquid syringe. Much to my surprise as well as the Vet’s, he is back to his old, get in the way, always being under foot, self. Tuna water is the way to go with a Cat that will not drink. Try it out and be rewarded. Cat lovers on!!!

That's just not fair Ron😆, Temptations will abound---I really do give up on this subject. Black Glass--on!!!
-
It is a great one out of hand as well. Keep em coming--we all love this stuff--really we all do! Marble--On!!!
-
Great images Tommy, nice Masters as well. I am no expert on "Melon Balls"----but I believe that it is a "hand-made" term. Those that you describe are very cool. Are they opalescent? Marble--On!!!
-
I think that Steph is right on this one it is a WVS for sure, no CAC here. It does deserve some more input on the ID. It is a very nice looking marble, I love the way that the stream almost looks like a hand-gathered marble. Very cool!! Well worth posting for an ID Marble--On!!

It is always fun bumping heads on a topic like this👀. Thanks Ron, and all of you, it has been fun and collecting should be fun. Black vs. whatever color. The fact is, no matter the actual color, black was the intended target in most cases. I promise to never bring the whole subject up again---really!! I can nit-pick with the best of them but it is time for me to quit on this subject—I concede and will continue to— Marble—On!!!
-
They very well could be Flinties. Backlight them for the true ID. They will reveal themselves then. Marble--On!!
-
This one is a WVS and that is al that I can say. It deserves a bump so here goes--- Marble--On!!!
-
This is a hard one. The greenish glass that pokes through it makes it even harder. It deserves some attention. Cool marble! Marble—On!!!
-
It is a Peltier marble imho. No names from me--sorry. A very nice marble--I like it. I just call them like I see them. Marble--On!!
