Whoa! I've never seen those Visi-Paks! Way cool Steph, thanks for sharing!!

I only use my cell phone, would love to purchase a camera with a good macro. The trick to taking pictures with your cell phone camera is using a dark background, the phone camera is "too smart" in it's White Balance feature. It tries to over compensate if you use a white background, and ends up making the marbles look really dark in my opinion. You also have to figure out a good lighting situation for your phone. I prefer using the flash with a bright background light (specifically a Maglite flashlight for me ) I took these with cell phone camera.

Happy Easter !

Pretty Sparklers ^^^ I guess it's easier for me to find pastel colors with Vitro lol

I LOVE this display! So much variety, fun to investigate!!

Wow!! That is fantastic ^^^^^^ backdrop color and texture, everything! winner of the pastel groupings! Jelly beans.

I have one that is quite similar, it jumps back and forth between my Akros and Master The whispy white really looks Master to me.

Pastels

I think I have to go with Akro as well, based on that last photo, very strong Akro looking cut to me.

Hello, sorry for your loss. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here, you're in the right place My photos are usually too large as well, I open them in paint and resize them, down to about 50 (both horizontal and vertical), hope that helps.

Those look fantastic in the sun! ^^^ Very pale green snakes, and my largest Spiral, larger than 3/4", but not quite 13/16"

Aventurine cat

That is a FANTASTIC corkscrew. I imagine I would have been a terrible player in the 30s-50s, none of mine would go in the ring And just out of curiosity, were you that red headed kid with freckles ?

1" Moss Agate

Spirals and Auger

That's a crazy busy marble right there ^^^ Nothing special here, but I don't have many Pelts. I like the different green bases of these two

Green sounds great to me! I purchased this as an Akro Perfection A beautiful green Onyx

I love the browns also

Glass overlapping glass a peeled Pelt

Happy Valentines Steph <3 , hope it was great

hmm, hard to photograph, but the two thinner corkscrews have that bluish cast to the base glass. The only two I have like this.

And I agree about the orange Spirals being harder to find. I just saw one on eBay where the clear base glass lit up under a black light. Can't wait to get home and try this one. I really like the base on the yellow. It's a moss agate/moonie type base with just a touch of blue in it, giving it an almost smokey look. I have an Orange one like it at the house, I'm going to try a comparison photo later. If someone knows a specific name for that base, I'd love to know it
