  1. Hmmm good question. I never look there either. I think that it means you rock👍. It is far better than my 5.4. @bumblebee may have an opinion here. Marble--On!!

    Help...

    Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  4. I am pretty sure too. This one looks like a varient of a "Black Panther" to me. @Melissa knows these pretty well as does @Mojo, lets ask them for some input here. Marble--On!!
  5. Heaton oxbloods generally will show more Green than Oxblood but this could be the exeption here. Lets ask @cheese and @Ric for an opinion. Nice marble!---Nice images as well! Marble--On!!
  6. I agree with Fire on the right hand one. The left one is not a "Bennie" imho. Lets call in @bumblebee for any thoughts that he may have. Marble--On!!
  7. It may be a Master Made. The lines that you show do act like oxblood but they look like blue or black to me. If you can squeeze any red out of those lines--yes oxblood--if not--just humble pollution. Just mho-I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  8. There is nice bright white glass included here. I can see why you posted it--great mib! Sometimes these "Common Swirls deserve some more attention. Nice images! Marble--On!!
  9. This is the weakest form of Oxblood that I have ever seen but I would call it oxblood (maybe veal-blood--not quite an Ox😁) Why does "veal blood" gross me out? I used to eat Veal all the time back in the day. Good eye to catch this one my marble collecting friend. It may be an Akro, or an Alley agate. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more with this one. Marble--On!!
  10. A Cool but messed up slag! I see nothing in your most excellant images to not call it a Machine made marble. I cannot call it a CAC, an Akro, or a Master--I will just call it very cool. Marble--On!!
  11. This is quite a common WVS--some might call it a slag (me). There could be some opal involved. Nice images! Marble--On!!
  12. OK, I see it, nice stuff. The color green is the one color that will show these little flecks most often. It has to do with the glass recipe, or the mixture of minerals invloved to make the color green than any pure intention of including AV. This one is an Asian Cat eye imho. Good eye! Marble--On!!
  13. This one is machine made. A WVS of some sort or maker. A really nice marble that I could never ID. I have seen these before in hand--very cool! @cheese will be coming out with a book describing WVS very soon. He had a lot of help but this one( the book) is worth waiting for. I just hope that this one is included. Marble--On!!
  14. Do not get frustated--just keep on marbling. I have set quite a few aside for future ID myself. If marbles ID was easy "TheMarbleConnection" would not be here today. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!
  15. It is about 50 years old and that is you as a kid Fire. From a fire jumper to a zamboni driver great ride Fire. Marble--On!!
  16. Me either--pretty cool finds. I believe That Akro Agate made some glass knives. Marble--On!!
  17. Well worth the "Display Shelf" imho. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  18. This is a big one so that narrows it down to a few makers. I have had a few of these "olive drab" slags pass through my hands. I never did come up with a maker--just a very cool find. Marble--On!!
  19. This one is a slag. Akro vs CAC is the question here imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice find regardless of the ID. Marble--On!!
  20. Yep, a killer Alley Agate Swirl. Nice images! Marble--On!!
  21. Hardley loaded with AV--just a few specks from un-dissolved minerals in the green. Marble--On!!
  22. Been there-done that for sure. A Striped Transparent imho. ( a slag in in any other modes) Maybe German--maybe CAC--this is the question here as far as I am willing to admit. A very nice find regardless of the final ID. Marble--On!!
  23. This one is not easy--it is Vitro imho and Oxblood is present as well imho. I would call it a crossover --or a marble that was made between runs of specific named marbles. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. @Ric may have some further opinions here as well as @Melissa Marble--On!!
