  1. I couldn't capture it in the pictures but all the color is buried under the clear glass like a cateye/banana. The color comes closer to the surface near the center of the green streak. Cool looking marble that really stood out

    WOW! Looks like the patch is green and the other half is brown/red. Backlight that patch. I wanna see it 🔥

    RAR

    I see what you are seeing but it's just the picture. It's only green but the color gets a bit darker in that area.

  3. Wow CAC didn't cross my mind on this one. This was in my dad's collection along with another just like it. I will gets some pics of the other one. Thanks for the input!

    I can't be of any help with the ID, but something has me curious. In the third photo, it looks out of round. Is that one of the irregularities you mentioned, or a trick of the lighting?

    That is one of the irregularities. It's not perfectly round. It's almost faceted for lack of a better word. It snuck by quality control 😀

    Today's vast internet market is flooded with uneducated buyers and unscrupulous or ignorant sellers.  It's enormously irritating, but there's absolutely no way to control that or what price someone is willing to pay for 'whatever'.  If someone overpays because they are foolishly under-educated tough noogies, since they have not opted to seek higher learning or expert advice.  Reverse that and you can score a rare or valuable marble for a pittance if you know what your looking at and the seller does not.  There's nothing new under the sun here where collecting anything is concerned - it's just 'more so' due to internet access. Be smart and educated or be stupid and gullible - everyone has that choice. 

    I agree that it's hard to feel bad for someone who overpays for a marble because they were uneducated. Especially in the larger dollar marble market. If you are going to pay big dollars for marbles it's probably a good idea to have knowledge of what you are buying. I watch this happen all the time on Ebay. Here is a good example from last week.
