Go with me here. I think the marble in the first pic that is below the Black/Yellow Rainbo should be next. Transparent green base glass with an Oxblood Bat in the matrix. At least that’s how I describe it. There was no confirmed ID on this one here on the Board. Actually I’m all Geeked just to see what you do next🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

👍

I just saw my cat's nose in that one pic. She's nuts for marbles.

I'm gonna post the yellow and black mib even though it's not done. I haven't sanded the extra resin off yet, but it looks so dang awesome I couldn't wait!

And a few of the giant slag

3 or more colors are special, IMHO.

I think it looks like a wild Vitro. I love it!

Welcome aboard!

I just thought I would share some photos of my garden so far this year.  The fern leaf peonies are just starting to bud. I have about 30 different peonies in my yard, and probably the same amount of iris and daylily. I love my flowers. 

Your passion for gardening is evident through your stunning pics. What an awesome thing to live in such a beautiful environment. Where do you find the time to indulge in all your hobbies? Because it seems like you put your whole heart into the things you enjoy. Just wonderful!!!!

If anyone thinks this is going in the wrong direction and these could get sold off in hand. It’s easy. They are not going to feel like glass. Keep going Kimber. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Excellent point! They definitely have a feel to them that tells you instantly you are not touching glass. I've ordered a few more molds that will accommodate larger marbles. 

I found this product on Amazon that I thought might work well as a way to hold and display my marbles. The price of rubber O-rings is crazy and I've tried a few different things, but these work out well. Mine hold peewees on up to shooters, but they do make different sizes. At $6.29 for 100, I thought I'd share this display hack in case anyone's interested. 

I agree with you, Melissa, on the bottom left being a Vitro. The bottom left - I'm thinking Fire is right about that one having Vitro traits too, but the base glass color just has me questioning that. Sorry not much help. I'm interested in what the experts will come up with. 

I say buy some clear resin and silicone sphere molds and I bet you will have some beautiful mibs to put in your display case when you're all done. 

Beautiful green slag 7/8ths. Some damage still showing, but overall pretty dang good. Would show very well compared to original condition.

The lashes are a nice little bonus🔥

Thanks! I noticed those lashes as well, which I didn't notice before the resin treatment. I showed my mom the before pic and then the mib in hand and she said "That's not a very pretty marble." We're no longer on speaking terms. LOL! 

There remains an issue with areas on some mibs where there is additional resin that needs ro be sanded and buffed. I got a Dremel and some sanders and buffers to try that route. Not sure how well the resin will react to all that but we will soon see!

More posts to follow. 

So Kimber's a girl, but it's all good! LOL! I did a few but only have time to post this one before I gotta get going. More to come later!

This "clearie" is almost two inches. I have it on my window sill and it reflects everything.

The bubbles are the cool factor for me with this one.

Marble--On!!

That is incredible!

I agree with Ric--messy--for sure.

I would call it a Pelt though.

Nice marble regardless!!

Marble--On!!

It does have that Pelt look when stuff gets all swirly. Like those multicolor swirls - I've had so many with similar looking patterns.

.... but that IS what the colors reminded me of. 

Yeah, me too! But I love a good mystery, and this is the stuff that makes this board so awesome. That we can all add a bit here and there until someone comes along and nails it. It's so satisfying when we figure it out.

Ric sent me this link to the Wales types:

 

I guess the Wales are all brushed patches, so that's out.

I think that you mean English "Whispler" Kimbernugs.

I think not and Agree with the Master ID on this one.

(my only other thought was a weirdo Phantom Conqueror)

Marble--On!!

Whispler did come to mind, but I was thinking of the Wales types, but didn't know if the white filaments fit that description or not. 

Could the OP be one of those Wales types?
