I have some Curry waiting to be consumed so here is another repost. Marble--On!!

Oh--by the way your images rock---

I really doubt that this is your first Gladys--maybe the first one that has been Identified as such. You just have some very great marbles and I always look forward to what you have to show to all of us. Keep them coming--you will never bore me or anyone else on this board---great---really great-- as always. Keep them coming!! Marble--On!!

Here is a link--just scroll and find it. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/16mm-25mm-colorful-spot-mix-handmade_62355108286.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_title.fd4d6192Gboa17 Marble--On!!

Gladys---you just bring it up a notch as always. This is a CAC and a very nice one at that. Marble--On my Friend---this is a great marble!!

This is of course a bank bag but there many bags/pouches that were custom made and sold with Akro tins as “give-a ways” or a bonus with a buy/get type thing. I have done the research on these custom made pouches and it is my best guess that they were made by a company in Ohio. I will always appreciate the history of these and I will get them when I can. I have found a few that I cannot get any history on as far as the named company is concerned. They can be quite old. I love this stuff---and by the way-----ask Alexa or your named computer to play some “Steely Dan”, great marble music. Marble—On!!

This is a Chinese made marble and pretty new. They come in a variety of colors. This is a nice one. Marble--On!!

I just wish that I had an example to show you. I have two that “may be” and are not so convincing. The Electric yellow CAC slag’s are the tops as far as slag’s go in my opinion. They just light up as no other, in hand, under flash, in sunlight---the tops as far as any yellow ever was or will be. I hope that someone will share one or two in an image---I just love these types. Marble—On!

This one is a very nice Akro in a very nice size---imho of course. Marble--On!!

Sorry my marble collecting friend, no CAC's in that bunch. It is a nice bunch though. CAC marbles are like one per 1000 Akros, you will find them, just keep-- Marbling on!!

Just taking a nap here. I have posted this one before—it is worth another post and I will save this one for the future. Same marble—just different shots. A Blue Oxblood With great lashes--- Marble—On!!

Not CAC, Maybe not a slag--nice drizzle for sure. This is a nice WVS imho.No maker from me😉. Marble--On!!

Ummmm, I think that someone may have been starting/experimenting with torch-work here. Just my humble opinion. Marble--On!!

You may be right Ric. The Pistachio colored marbles are usually either well lit with UV, or not lit at all under UV. Alley Agate "Pistachio", once considered by many/most as a CAC. This is a great example of research, research—on and on. Thanks to all of the diggers/researchers that set this one right. This is a great marble!! Marble—On!!

Nice marble, Hit it with some UV light and lets go from there. Marble--On!!

This one falls into the better than nothing category for sure. I would be proud to own it just as it is. Rare anything is just a hard find. Oh no!! for sure---but I will settle for the "oh well" sometimes. Marble--On!!

X2

They are both Veli imho and nice ones at that. Marble--On!!

Very nice indeed--A really great marble! Marble--On!!

I agree--Akro. Marble--On!!

This one may be an Akro imho. That is the way that I would sort it anyhow. CAC slags are a step above and I always treat them with respect. Marble--On!!

I agree. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Nice marble, Not a Jabo imho. WVS and an older one. More opinions are needed. Marble--On!!

That one is an Akro for sure--Liberty? Dug or broken--it does not matter,---dug imho. Marble--On!!

Swirl vs slag---it is hard to tell. Marble--On!!
