Moss Agate.  Not sure I see Double Ingot would need more views.  There is a long crease 

I'll try to get more pics today

In general, this is what you're looking for. . .

Absolutely - kind of a wild one, cool!

@Ric you have helped so much with these types of marbles.  I appreciate your time and insight.

I am starting to understand the different folds and cuts

Thank you

I'm still trying to learn the transitionals.

That's a great find. You'll have all kinds of fun sorting those. I see more Japanese transitionals in there . . .

Yes I have separated all the common stuff out.  Now days and days or sifting and sorting!

That is a Yasuda pinch pontil transitional, IMO.

Very cool!

To bad about the big chip

Tx

Thanks

Too bad

Yep...the marble game is different up here.  I don't find the incredible gems some of you find....but I get tons of Alleys, RWs, WVS, and Pelts 

If it is a Pelt, I've never seen this colour

Just want to post what I will have coming up the next while.  Bought a massive collection today at an antique market.  Nobody here really cares...lol. I know the group here will understand my excitement.  There were thousands.

I sorted them all and got the last 3 pictures to explore and sort 

I hope you don't mind my excitement.

More to come shortly!

They were only in business for about six years.

Have you ever checked out Joe Street's old reference site, which is now hosted here?

No.  Bookmarked for later.  Thank you!

It's funny this topic was just posted, because I've been thinking about this.  I saw some videos with the guy with the polishing machine, and that's crazy.

Just wondering what others have done to polish/refurbish marbles?

I have a Dremel tool with all sorts of soft buffing tips and buffing compound.  I may find a very damaged marble, and see what that can do

Thanks
