The Nickel Guy

Sure was. I had and am having a lot of fun with these boulders.

Yes, I totally agree it is an ICE boulder with gravy.

Thanks again folks. For what Google is worth, I looked for keywords Largest Jabo Marble and it said that the biggest is 1 inch on one place it gave me. I tend to agree. To quote: "Jabo marbles are produced in various sizes, with the 1-inch (1") marble being the largest standard size offered by Jabo, Inc. These larger marbles are often featured in special runs, such as the Spring and Fall Classic series, and are highly sought after by collectors. For example, a notable 1" run was produced on December 9, 2005, for a How It’s Made episode, which included approximately 103,500 marbles across multiple designs. While Jabo is known for its 5/8", 3/4", and 1" marbles, the 1" size is considered the largest in their regular production lineup and is frequently highlighted in collector communities for its visual impact and rarity in certain patterns and color combinations." I believe that this is a marble that has no named group to belong to and it is a Vacor / Mega Marble oddball. For now it has no name from me but I usually end up giving them a name of my own. I have come to like it more as I handled it several times now and examined it more closely. Sometimes, that's just the way it is.

Thank you my observant friends. From a different angle, it appears it has a somewhat clear area over that area apparently. hmmmmm, I noticed that after the picture taking too. Picture with arrows pointing to area. I do not think it is a Jabo because of it's size. Did Jabo make big marbles this size? If so, I would be quite happy either way. It would be my largest Jabo for sure but I am leaning Mega Marbles freak for now. It is smooth and round without any creases really, well, I just don't know.

I could have sworn I posted this one last night but I can't find it to follow up with these pictures I took a little bit ago. I thought it might be some kind of Police Officer but it totally lacks gray? Does anyone know what it could be named? Thank you!

Here are some outdoor images of one of them that I just took a little while ago. Things are different outside.

I can't put things off so I grabbed it and took some outside images. Since it's so big, I can easily overlook the blowhole. Boulders are like that, yes they are.

Thanks Levvy, I think it will be called "Tumbleweed" for now. Maybe you were just saying that or Tumbleweed is a member who might know, I don't know exactly but I will dub it "Tumbleweed".

Thanks Fire, I will try to squeeze some more images here sometime today. I appreciate you taking the time to look it over and post.

I have a fair amount of normal Glitterbomb and Destroyers. They all have opaque black base glass as best I can tell except a couple. I do have a 5/8th oddball with transparent blue and another with transparent green. Without digging around, I think they are very much Destroyers but I keep those separate. Now I have this unidentified tweener of a boulder at just over 1 and 5/8th. It is somewhat shiny like a Glitterbomb but I've seen shinier for sure and it is a bit shinier than this image. It would look slightly out of place with your everyday Destroyer though. This has a green transparent base. Not black, so maybe I am barking up the wrong tree but the frit is exactly like a Destroyer and without backlighting it, could get lost in a crowd of like kind and size. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Ice II Mega Marble or Ice Blue or some other kind of older Blue Jay, I don't know? I do think there might be unintentional colors swirled in, I think the light blue dark blue and white are normal and this turquoise greenish brown is just a bonus. What say ye? Thank you!

Thanks Chad, I just found that section recently and it's a cool section. I am there now on another tab. I am going to try and ID a few more tonight.

I have been given these two big honkin 1 3/8th Mega Marble boulders. Help please, I would not be surprised if we all are baffled by these. They are quite dark in hand, They are opaque swirls and in normal indoor dimmer lighting, they look very dark green. I will post two images her, first darker, still brighter than in hand and then with flash as seen by my camera. I have absolutely no idea what these could be. Thanks again! and believe me . . . I looked

It appears I have found some similar colors and patterns as "Giraffe" Thanks to those who pondered.

Thank you all for the verdict. It does have a big question mark in that coral color.

I would like to believe I have a Twister here and not a newer Michelangelo. It is transparent deep cobalt blue base and the backside lacks the detail that the front here shows. That red is almost coral color and the only other colors are orange and yellow. No white. ( except the dust specks - sorry ) Thank you

That yellow is throwing me off course, but it is pretty neat. It is opaque and 1 inch in diameter. Thanks for your time and thoughts on this cool boulder. .

This is slightly larger than 5/8th, I'd say more 21/32". I am pretty sure there is a generous amount of aventurine there in the green patch. It is definately translucent. Can anyone help me before I go bonkers? Thanks

Well, Imperials it is then but they look nice in hand, better than my pictures and I like em a lot. Thanks everyone!

Thanks Fire

Thanks, I was actually just being hopeful, I tend to agree but they are kinda neat.

My best guess is that the 2nd half, the blue and bubbly one is over an inch. The Yellow is 1 inch and I think both of these are Moss Agates. The one just to the left of those just looks Akro colors to me, especially that green and it is 15/16. The last on the far left has a cold roll but I think it is a Popeye patch and is also 15/16. Thank you very much

Some of these do have a lipstick colored patch and another colored patch, some have two different colored patches but they have a white base. They do have an unusual sheen, that might be taken for a sort of opalescent appearance and are not as large as the usual 5/8th players as a whole. They DO NOT glow under UV however which I think Kokomo do, especially the white. So what are these? A couple have what appears to be a pair of lips. Thank you kindly folks.

I think watching Stephen Bahrs videos AND this forum and the other marble forum I am on were the most helpful. These people are much more experienced than me for sure but even the most veteran collectors ask questions. I think highly of them and just for example here's one of those Stephen Bahr videos on Oxbloods. I watched all his marble videos, probably easily 10 or more times. I can't take all this marble stuff in and have to look at gallerys and ask questions again and again. Some is starting to stick and click in my mind and that makes it all a bit easier.

You know, that crossed my mind. The red and bubbles lines up with my little red and white ones. There were Peltier Rainbos in that batch. That would be neat if it is a Pelt Rainbo in 7/8th size. I don't think I have a Pelt shooter or boulder.
