  1. I feel like it's a pelt but it's really hard to tell. The transparent green and bubbles feel off to me when considering MK Others should be able to get a solid I.D.
  2. Learning the patterns of Peltier Rainbos and Marble King Rainbows (the two types here) is a great way to start out as they are simple and usually easy to identify, and they account for a LOT of marbles you will come across. Marble Kings are typically more strict with their colors and patterns so I'd say they are easier to learn, but Peltier Rainbos become easy if you learn what to expect from their structure and how to spot it in wonky or unusual examples. Just know that there is much more variability in coloration and patterns on Rainbos than Rainbows. Yes the spelling matters
  3. That is less applicable to modern marble kings, as they often have what looks more like two patches.
  4. The marble king is the only one that has a green patch AND green ribbons. The pelts will only have the equatorial ribbons, no additional patch. This is why the marble king pattern is referred to as a "patch and ribbon" style. So yes, MK on bottom, other 4 are Pelts.
  5. Wonky Peltier Rainbo I think.
  6. Interesting.. I wonder where they're getting the name from. Maybe one decided to use it and the rest picked it up to help them sell better? Hard to tell if they are really the same color combo or not, they seem different but then again these things vary a lot. My knowledge on Pelts is extremely limited so I can't say much more. With such nice colors, it'd be surprising if there wasn't a name given to these, at least the first one. Maybe someone else will know more.
  7. I asked it about a "Fire & Ice" ID and said such a marble did exist. I asked it to verify its info as I was not seeing sufficient evidence in the sources it gave me, and it responded by essentially saying most of the references to that ID are from selling and auction sites and that it doesn't appear in actual identification sites... so it's likely not a widely accepted name in the community. Either way it's still a beautiful marble and I think that name suits it.
  8. Is there a source for that info or did you get it from an AI? I know that there are some AIs that link sources they take from for answers. I'm just curious where the info may have been taken from as a lot of AIs are happy to "go along" with things you ask about and make it sound more factual than it really is. Perplexity AI always gives sources I think, so that would be the best one to ask about something like this so you can fact check what it says
  9. An awesome one 🫢
  10. A pretty one if so 😯
  11. 2x All Red, they have a lot more variation than you'd expect. These three are actually very similar to each other when compared to others I've seen. They're nice examples 🙂
  12. Oh interesting... Vitro was my first thought when I saw it, guess my gut was right after all. can a specific ID be applied to this type? Thanks for the help!
  13. Hey everyone, been awhile since I posted but I'm starting to take interest in my collection again apologies once again for suboptimal photo quality, I'm hoping this ID will be simple enough though. this is a roughly 23mm shooter - just shy of an inch. It has some playwear in the form of nicks with I assume dirt in them, I haven't tried cleaning it. the glass doesn't seem to be the best quality, you can clearly feel the "ridges" between the yellow and blue in some spots. Not sure what you call that, but basically it's not perfectly smooth and would not have been even if it was mint. Photo 8 shows what I'm talking about clearly, the first of the sunlit photos. Pretty much all of the green has aventurine and sparkles. It's not crazy deep or anything, but is clearly distinguishable and obvious. Out of my small collection, this one probably has the most AV. It does not react to UV/blacklight beyond just highlighting the blue, which I expect is normal for that color. With the glass quality, I'm starting to think it's just a modern Vacor, but I wouldn't have expected such obvious AV in one, nor the single consistent bold blue stripe wrapping around fully. I can't see any orange peel. Thanks for your time!
