This one is an Asian Catseye imho. Marble--On!!

These are MK St Mary’s yellow and white cross trough marbles. They may not be as rare to find as you may think. Choose good lighting and LOOK! Browsing will get you nowhere—look—look—look! We all collect marbles—not Bowling Balls—your eyes always need some help. These came from a “Cereal box addition” of a sleeve of marbles. The plastic stuff (cellophane) just fell apart revealing these. I was beyond happy to find them but I had to look very closely. I have sent one of these in three different trades and no one has picked them up—the forth is coming—lol. I hope that this will help you all out. Marble—On!!

It is a nice one--Vitros of this type have always caught my eye. Marble--On!!

Akro X2-- Marble--On!!

I do not see Jabo here--WVS-- More opinions are needed for sure. Marble--On!!

MK X3--Nice one! Marble--On!!

They may well be Akro--but-- they would have never made it to a sales type marble imho. I think that you have some from the "digs" here. Just my humble opinion--- Marble--On!!

X2--Marble--On!!

MK--All the way--nice one! Marble--On!!

Here we go on the Vacor Atmospheres train again. I believe with 75% that this one is a Vacor Atmosphere. It shows what I like to find in any Atmo—buried color below the nice clear matrix, a few wandering bubbles with some junk included and of course the hand gathered signs that will always show up, they are always quite round as if rounded on rollers—colder rollers of course. The Atmos that I have been involved with always have a very “well cooked” clear matrix. I will never go beyond this 75% finding them alone because there are so many of this kind being made today and in the past as well. This one is 25MM or one inch thereabouts. Atmos vary in size plus or minus because they were hand gathered. Finding any Lutz in an Atmo is a big bonus. They are rare, even in the bigger bonus sizes. I am wondering if anyone has any “Lutz” Atmospheres to share with a good set of images. I have two now—red/white/lutz and this killer that I am showing. You will not talk me out of this one being an Atmosphere—I leave the 25% for my mind alone. I appreciate all opinions and welcome them all. Marble—On!!

I agree--nice job Melissa! Still--a very nice one! Marble--On!!

The left one is a Vitro “All Red”—a nice big one. The middle one is a Master “Tiger Eye”—another very nice one! The right imho is an Akro Patch—a nice patch for sure. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

It is good to see you back here Ric--I hope that all is well. Marble--On!!

Nice action on this one for the size! This is a WVS (West Virginia Swirl). No maker from me-(Alley Agate) Marble--On!!

I just love the "Rhino" in the back ground. The marble—well---pretty common imho. A WVS for sure. Marble—On!!

Aventurine in a Pelt is always a bonus. I am not familiar with the "Orions Belt". It must be from "The Book". Images will help here for sure. I did some research--most were Akro. Marble--On!!

You should be spoiled Mojo, You have been and I hope that you will continue to be-- one of the best in sharing and explaining what you have found overseas. “TheMarbleConnection” has been blessed with your input no doubt. The USA collecting market has been influenced by you in ways that I hope that your head stay’s straight and in a noble way. I admire you. The stacks of Lion Sulfide marbles that you posted blew me away and yet—lately, your wife purchased some marbles for you—she is a Saint—for sure. I would give you the shirt off of my back—it may just happen—lol. Keep on keeping on my marble collecting friend! Marble—On!!

I agree--we got lucky!

I have no name or run for this one other than "Killer". Marble--On!!

This is where we will all miss Ron. I think that these are Alley Agates---but i just suck at WVS ID--for the most part. @Ric and @cheese were there with him digging. They are the go to here. We all get excited to find a Ravenswood when a brown is included in any marble--I am right there with you. If they were smaller--I might be on-board Marble--On!!

When you find a pre contract Jabo in this size with no flaws---top notch imho. Here is a nice Pre contract run Jabo @ 31/32”. Just a killer larger sized production Jabo. Marble—On!!

Nice color combo for sure!

The second set of images shows some nice newer MK imho. The last image--the middle one is an Akro corkscrew--the one to the right with olive drab may be one also( check this one for flecks of AV) Otherwise--Chad is right one imho This may be a Pelt--or a nice WVS--more images are needed. That is a very nice Bennie! Marble--On!!

I just love a good corkscrew--the funny thing is when you hit them with AV light. They may look the same--but?? Marble--On!!

Rare-- Marble--On!!
