Looks like a common Pelt.  Point out the "lutz".

This statement says it all as far as I am concerned.

Many collectors new to this weird collectable mistake that we all have made--collecting marbles, will mistake small bubbles for "Aventurine" or AV (the term "lutz" is reserved for hand made marbles).

Yours is a rather nice Peltier Rainbo.

No Unicorn here my marble collectiing friend.

I feel your excitement and love it but I am glad that you asked.

Marble--On!!

I appreciate your kindness. I have yet to come across one like this with so many tiny bubbles and an actual sunset on the horizon. It seems more artistic and precise than others I've seen online 

The more I learn about marbles and their collector community, the more I realize that the study of marbles is never-ending, the artistry and pricing are completely subjective, and unfortunately, there are a lot of rude people. My excitement continues to grow in part due to others who are patient and willing to educate. It really is beautiful, and I could look at the sparkle all day. I guess it's just the light catching the dense bubbles, but I also see rectangular inclusions. Am I trippin?

I'm not following the 'elevated'/'special' indicators.

I'm not forcing you to

Thank you. I guess I ruled out Peltier because the Lutz is so dense and the sunset so detailed (from what I've seen). It feels elevated to me. Could it be from a special series? 

Here ya go.  I added what I think is the coolest part of the marble.

Found this in my family marbles. I have done extensive research and have come to the conclusion that this very well may be a CAC "Sunset" swirl with Lutz. I've ruled out everything else. Did I find a unicorn or am I wrong? *sits anxiously waiting for a response*

I posted this in the Intro thread but saw this one and now I am posting it here. this is from 3 generations putting their favorites together throughout the years. i inherited them last year. my turn to add in a few

                Yes, you have some real beauties there, cross your fingers for no damage and you have some very nice ones indeed. But the sentimental value always overrides the condition, I like your Fathers taste, like I said some real beauties 

 

 Thank you! Most of them are from what I can tell (I know nothing except the 12 hour crash course I gave myself lol) to be in the mint category. There are some of every grade I think. Yes, sentimentally they are priceless. These came from 3 generations of guys in my family who kept their favorites to pass down to the next. I may not be a guy but it's my turn. I guess I should look for ones to add to them. 🤔

my father gave these to me before he passed away last year. Yesterday I got them out of his things. They were in a bag and covered in dirt so I cleaned them off and now I am in love. Obsessed some would say. I think they are gorgeous. What do you think?
