But I love and collect them all the same. I threw the JABO in for size comparison.
Citrine, banded agate, silk agate, sardonyx, and some quartz in each sphere.

Marble is made of calcite crystals (white) and some colored grains of mica inclusions; the grains in a marble are locked together like jigsaw puzzle pieces.
Similar.
Really pretty transparent marbles. Lots of bubbles. Small thumbnail shaped pontils. The little yellow one has no pontil.
Biggest 3 are 3/4"
Red is a little smaller.
And the yellow peewee is 1/2"
Under the black light, they all go crazy. LoL.
Any ideas on IDs?
Does it have a pontil mark? Transitional is the time period between handmade and machine made. There's usually a pontil on one pole of the marble. Can be pinch, thumbnail, regular, etc.
Hard to see in pics.
Definitely a green slag.
