Here are a group of home-made tags. I will be making use of them with the recycled asst net bags. I re-use them when assembling these 24 + 1 sets.

Ravenswood examples dug by David Tamulevich
The Nickel Guy replied to stephenb's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I am sure I have some of the basic white base Ravenwood swirls but I know I have no Blue Green or Red Ravens. :-( I saw the video when it was only 8 hours old the other day. Was going to post it but figured somebody would or might have already done so. I have watched your videos so many times, I'm getting to a memorization level. Thanks so much Stephen. So professional. I've learned so much. Best source for learning.. Please keep them coming. I also get a kick out of the background music.It is fun and funny too sometimes. It's all good. I am responsible for a lot of the "hits" or views I guess. -
Those are two great pieces of art. Both look to be from the 50's.

Diagnosis: Mega Obsession Disorder My collection continues to grow. I am assembling my own sets, reusing net bags and making up my own tags. I am at about a dozen short of 3000 Mega Marbles. All sorted alphabetically and on a spreadsheet. Top case has either 24 plus a shooter or needs a shooter. On the floor are generally sorted, less than 24 count lots and shooters. Some might not care for these Mexican marbles but I assure you, there are some truly beautiful ones to be had, even some common modern issues can be very nice. I have found numerous odd hybrids and off the wall color combos that I have seen nowhere else yet. Where I can't find a label, I have made up my own. If only I could find a trading partner.

In my recent purchase of a few hundred Vitros, three had deep cobalt blue transparent base glass with a white patch. Maybe that is just what it is. However, I wonder what the criteria is for a Blue Devil. I am thinking there is some tan or brown in the mix of the white. Like it is a little muddy that makes it one? Please post one if it rolls by. Thanks
