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

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 ๐ 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.

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

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.

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 ๐
-
Found the photos at least, but I'll need to find the marble to get the size. I have one very similar that came with this Master, but the Ox is nowhere near as pronounced.
-
That is a beautiful Master marble! Especially in that first photo, the colors, the translucent, almost opalescent looking glass with prominent bubbles, the angle of the seam, all perfect imo. Gorgeous. I have a Brushed Patch Master with Oxblood that I know I've taken pictures of, I'll see if I can find it if it helps. I'll post the photos here when I find them.

Which picture is best for Id
disco005 replied to davesnothere's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Hi Davesnothere, I use a darker background. If you're using your cellphone camera and have white in your background, your camera is overcompensating for the white background, making the entire photo dark. If you use a darker background, Black or Gray, the phone camera will show the colors of the marble better. -
-
I thought so too, I'm amazed at the MK id, but I love it them more now ๐
-
WOW! I can't help with ID, but WOW!! Awesome marble for sure. That dark Blue is really striking next to the Black and Red.
-
I am still not comfortable IDing patches. I have an idea of what these are, but then in the second photo the two at the top and top right has me second guessing. This group has both 19/32" and 5/8". What do y'all think?

Very nice Tommy, those are some good lookin' Akros for sure, I especially like that bottom right one, it looks like it has that deep red transparent glass ๐คฉ Here are a couple of 21/32" Prize Names
