  2. Yes i believe they are. With the conqueror marbles you will notice they are usually a veneered type with a transparent base. Veneered meaning that the colored glass is veneered onto a clear marble creating its design. They are always a patch style marble. There are Phantom Conquerors and they will have a wispy white rather than a solid white base.

    Vintage manufacturers didn't have a big barrel of "aventurine" that they chose to add rarely - or at all.

    Fun fact:  "Aventurine" is a stone.  A mineral.  Quartz to be specific.  There is no quartz in glass marbles.

    Thank you for the information I wasnt sure exactly what AV was. I thought it was maybe crushed up glass or something.
