Aventurine not adventurine, common mistake. 

Well that's just silly why would I be having an aventurine...falling down the rabbit hole.or do you consider it a rabbit whole.😂

Alley agate swirl

Thank you I was hoping I was on the right track

My daughter had this in some mibs she got from a yard sale.its pretty wounded but the green has me in awe.the base color is kind of a very light pinkish color.

Sorry for the double post thought the first one didn't go through🤣

It was a great year for finds in the wild at garage/estate sales.  First I got 25 pounds of pre 1960 marbles for $20, heavy on Pelts. The first two pictures are a few of the highlights and the third is the sorted out banana cats, rainbos, Vitros and WV swirls.  The bag of mint newer blues were scattered in the lot.  Still more to sort and ID not shown.

 Group two was pre 1945 small box of marbles for $10.  Lot's of lovelies in there - picture four and five.  Not pictured are a nice small assort ment of Alley/CAC that didn't make it to the photo shoot.

Finally, not a bargain, but lots of awesome stuff in a good sized lot. Brick, purple base oxblood, Popeyes, etc. Highlight picture (six) and two group shots with the highlights mixed back in (seven and eight).

Fantastic great nabs on your mibs !!!

Very nice 😍

I was just wondering if we had a contemporary section or thread in this fabulous place I am a part of.im finding myself drawn to many aspects of the mib world and would like to find like minded folks that enjoy contemporary marbles and the makers.

In general you are not supposed to correct an old person with memory problems---unless they ask😁.

Haha well let's chalk this up to and old Pearson helping an older person for memories sake 😉😁
