They had only one machine that made these in 5/8" so a larger size would have likely been an error. Gw in a larger size regularly go for over 50 on auction.

If you have those in that size that's a good find

I just happened to be going through some marble stuff and picked up up a small box of dug Cairos just now. I opened it and picked out 16 glow worms all 11/16" to 13/16" right off the bat. Who knows how many more there are. Not HTF. At least not in my collection. The one that went over $50 on ebay was not 11/16" though.

I was just curious if it truly is $50 marble. I guess if it sells for that or more then I guess that's what it's worth🔥

Anything over 5/8" is htf for Cairo. They didn't make larger marbles in this kind. Glow worms at 11/16" are vhtf

Would this be a burnt superboy 

Thank you! When in doubt, JABO! Haha

Opaque as well

Ravenswood at .8" ? Idk if I can believe that! Be still my heart

The red is translucent, the white is opaque. No uv

Thank you. Pink seems to be an uncommon color 

19/32"

I've never even seen orange on one! 

Bottom left is cairo maybe?

Thank you! I've been hunting for this. There's one on ebay that was listed for over 100 and I couldn't bring myself but THEN THIS ONE

Need normal lighting to be sure but I'm not getting oxblood from it.

Difficult to say with certainty based on the photos, but should be opaque with black filaments.  I don’t think it’s oxblood, however.

I am in agreement. Thought it might fit due to floating on the surface of it, not so much black in it or at all

That first one is gorgeous. Probably an earlier run vacor

Actually, from MFC, Akro, CAC and Peltier it's near all the same for a 9 swirl is a result of the method used to gather the glass with punty rod. There are a few colors that MFC did not make but amber browns everybody did.

However, this particular 9 shape was found to be pretty regular whenever Hand gathered slags, opaques and others were dug-up about 20 years ago at the Akro plant site. I do not think one could say, every time it's shaped like that, it must be an Akro but, I do that, for the evidence, the odds are higher than others:

interesting! All of these are akro? 

Actually I am leaning Cairo crystal. But I don't know if they made them that large

Would this be a furnace swirl ?

Perhaps an akro? The size is quite big but that blue is so crisp!

Perhaps a Cairo crow?

My first thought is also master but that is a very bright orange. Very nice!!

5/8". The base is a transparent white. Those swirls are a dark purple. I had it with the alleys. 😵‍💫

Thank you! Until recently I thought MFC and CAC were the same! 😂
