Thank you Ric, appreciate it!

A little late for Akro Friday, but here we go: 1. One of my favorite things is to see surface texture of the flow of the glass, but this surface texture seems to always come with annealing fractures. I think I could probably call this a Blood and Bones. 5/8" 2. A Spiral, a very light Blue on a very light Amber base, I found these two probably 12 years apart. 3. These two were not found together either, but they sure look like they were in the same batch. I love the intense color and larger size 3/4" 4. Yellow and Blue corkscrew, the Blue is very thin and just on the surface, making it appear that the base glass is Blue, it is not, the base is clear glass. 19/32" 5. A harder to find baby Blue Snake 6. This one looks nothing like the marbles in photo 3, but also a Red and Blue cork, I like to see the differences between same color Akro marbles. 5/8" I like your idea about explaining Art, I did my best here. Have a great weekend everyone!

I'm sorry about your stitches but happy you have time to share some of these beautiful corks! I love that Orange and White cork, it looks like one of those that has the pink mixed in? 🤩

Wow that's great! I love the new color scheme.

Agree, Contemporary.

Recording off the radio, dedicating songs, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, lace and leather. I was a really sappy 80s kid, but then I loved Def Leppard, Guns N Roses, and Metallica. And when cassette singles came out, I thought that was the coolest thing.

A little late for Akro Friday, but that's how my week went 🤪 1. A one inch and a 9/16" Amber Spiral 2. Blue & Black Special 5/8" 3. Blue and Blue, White, and clear, technically it could be a Popeye, there is some wispy White. 21/32" 4. Green and true Black Special 5/8" 5. Orange, Green, and Cobalt Popeye 5/8"

That is the coolest double ingot I have ever seen! 😲

Thank you! That Blue, I know what you're talking about and I've thought in the past that the blue must be in between color changes in the glass, maybe it is, but why always a dark inky Blue? These four have some variation of it. Fun to consider.

Akro Friday 1. Red, Orange, and Blue Special 5/8" 2. Red and Orange Special 3. Double stream Orange and Yellow on an Amber base 19/32" 4. Orange Spiral 5/8" 5. Orange, Yellow, and Lavender 21/32"

Always happy to see Akros 🤩 Here is a variety of Yellow Onyx for this Friday: 1. 17/32" 2. 19/32" 3. 21/32" 4. 11/16"

That dark Green one, wow!! And two Yellow! And that dark Maroon! Very nice collection, all together like that, amazing.

Oh shoot, I'm sorry Ric, now I can't see them either. I'll share them here again.

Chicken curry with chickpeas, peas, and corn, over rice - Tikka Masala But instead of marinating and grilling the chicken, I put it in the slow cooker and shredded it. I will absolutely do this again.

Thank you, I don't think I have either. There are at least two votes for MK, two for Vitro, and one for Akro. With one down vote for Vitro, MK, and Akro. I'm still not sure what to call them, other than a really cool Orange and Purple patch. At first, I honestly thought possibly Akro for the Purple and Lavender colors and that gorgeous Ornage, but then Vitro for the V pattern and possibly a window, and then Peltier for that weird loop pattern on the top right marble.

I don't have a whole lot of Pelts to contribute to this conversation, but I do have Akros 😆 A couple years ago, I was curious about the corkscrew formation delta, whether there were more made of one direction. So I lined up my larger size corks and here were my results. Counterclockwise on the left, clockwise on the right (the marble in the middle is just a size reference 5/8"). FWIW And now I want to dig out all the Spirals and sort based on spin direction.

That is a really cool Ox patch Charlie. Agree on Akro. What size is it? It looks like a bigger size.

These all came together in one lot? Wow! That Blue Devil is awesome. Looks like you also have a red Double Ingot there?

1. Red and the richest Yellow Prize Name 5/8" 2. The coolest Lime Green Prize Name (possibly a Special with a trace of dark inky Blue) 19/32" 3. Red Onyx 5/8" 4. Four Orange Spirals on a bubbly UV base 5/8" (bottom right marble is pretty beat up, but still cool imo) 5. Green on Orange Prize Name 19/32" (my favorite thing about this mib is that you can see the outline of the cork in the Orange glass) 6. Green Onyx, a larger size at 3/4" 7. Two Red and Brown on translucent base 15/16" Happy Akro Friday y'all.

It's still Akro Friday, so here is a transparent Green spiral on a translucent base. 21/32"

That one definitely caught my eye as well ! 😆

Sweet box Art and some very nice-looking Ox ! In the fourth row down, the first on the left, that looks pretty unusual, is that black mixed in with the white? This one is a bit unusual, it's the only one I have, I don't think I've seen any like it in any size. 15/16"

Two Blue corkscrews on unusual bases One on an opaque base with a Pinkish tinge 5/8" and one on an opaque UV base 11/16" Happy Akro Friday !

It's Akro Friday again, share them all! Love seeing the Akros. Here are two very similar Akros, but opposite patterns, one clockwise corkscrew, one counterclockwise corkscrew.

Growing up my dad (from Missouri) said supper, and Mom (from Alaska) said dinner. I've stuck with saying dinner for 50 years I made a ramen tonight. I've never made this but I will absolutely be making this again. Don't make fun of my ingredients, I made it up 😆
