Welcome Alta, Show us what you have--I am sure that we will all enjoy what you have to offer. Marble--On!!

I like Akros but when you can find a CAC like one this cheap in a lot---Marble--On!!

Yes--Welcome for sure to "TheMarbleConnection" Bee. You seem to be convinced on finding this one deep during a dig. I would like to see some more images of it. Chaulkies are generally considered to be a marble that was underground for some time and had a reaction with the earth that caused an appearance that involved a raised appearance of chalk. They are very cool to find and see--I have never held one. I am not sure that any of these ever made it to the general sales but I doubt it highley. I like your marble--just not enough here to call one way or another. It does look like a clay from what you have posted so far. Regardless--a nice find and marble--just show some more of it. Marble--On!!

Hmm--- @Fire1981 may have an opinion here. Marble--On!!

This one is a Pelt. A nice Rainbo--no names from me. Marble--On!!

Lets call in @Fire1981 here. This one may be something else? Marble--On!!

Umm--maybe a Vitro--- Marble--On!!

Thanks Alta--you summed it up pretty well. Marble--On!!

At first I tought that this one was an AI image--really I did--👍 Pelt did not cross the line at 1".(well maybe a hair over) This one is just a killer and I mean it "KILLER"--Vacor. These big ones do not show up very great on average. I would put this one on the top shelf. The white waves are ridiculous here. Thanks for sharing it! I just love it--nice images as well. Marble--On!!

I like the rust spots here and how you show it as found. ( it can be cleaned very easily) This one sat at the bottom of a coffee can for awhile. I do not recognize this color combo however. Nice bright white—maybe a “batch glass white” A wvs imho. Nice images—Nice find! Marble—On!!

Yep, the Japenese hand mades have been shown here latley. Lets ask @YasudaCollector for an opinioin here. Marble--On!!

Lay off imho. Marble--On!!

A cool little Akro slag imho. Marble--On!!

Not a Veli--nice marble though and I can see the mix up here. Nice post and ask! Marble--On!!

Imho--an Akro Patch type. Marble--On!!

VitroX2-- Marble--On!!

You have to get more sharp images for a proper ID. Marble--On!!

Well, if it is an Atmosphere--and I agree here--it is a nice example of of how weak the colors may be. Nice find! Marble--On!!

My wife and I collected "slag glass" and McCoy pottery together for many years. Auctions, flea markets, estate sales, yard sales--etc etc. Then one day at an antique mall in Oshkosh WI we found this book by the Hardy’s--What? They made marbles too?? This pushed the limit for me--then I found a book by Everit Grist--off we went. Of course we had friends that collected other things that thought that we were "nuts" about collecting marbles. I had a friend "gift me" a coffee can full of marbles from her ex. I dumped them out and said---oh no--These are too valuable for a gift. About $7,500 later she knew. This was about 30 years ago and they still hold their value. About forty books later--here I am. Then the internet changed it all. I still have the marbles that my mom gave me from her dad--one was beat up like Chads Akro slag ( nice one by the way)--mine was a Oxblood Eggyolk--just a killer old used up marble. Grandpa played marbles---no doubt. Marble--On!!

A funny thing, as old as I am to this collecting thing--I can pick out a Vacor but a wvs just puts me back in my tracks. Swirls do "stuff like that" to me as well. Marble--On!!

This one is a simple Pelt Rainbo--stay away imho. Marble--On!!

Nice marble! I an befuzzled here. I would sort it as a wvs--just not too sure. Still--a nice find. Marble--On!!

I agree! Marble--On!!

Akro x2--nice patch type! Marble--On!!
