  1. Interesting discussion. I imagine every collector has wanted to see a magnified view at some point. It's not necessarily about finding flaws but more about admiring these small objects in a more immersive way. It's pretty enjoyable sitting in a sunny window looking at marbles with a loupe.

  2. In my opinion, yes. The swirls in the second and third pictures are Akro Milky Oxbloods and Silver Oxbloods, with the exception of maybe one or two non-oxbloods. Looks like an Akro Lemonade Oxblood in the back of those pictures too. The first picture shows a group of nice oxblood patches, though I'm not sure of the makers. Great bunch of marbles.

  3. I agree with Alley. These seem like Alley St. Marys Ghosts with a different colorway. The new West Virginia Swirls book--excellent and highly recommended--shows a marble like this in the Alley St. Marys section.

  4. The images are coming out dark because the camera is autoexposing for the whole scene, including the white background. If possible, spot meter on the marble in the center for better exposure. Or set exposure manually using a medium gray background, then switch back to shooting on the white background.

    I'm going to throw out Bifurcated just for fun. BUT....MCR is in the running. I would say 75% of the base glass is blue which is the most interesting trait to me on this one.🔥

    Good point that it's not only a transparent base, but one side is that bubbly blue base—almost mossy. It's a nice one.
