Aww, I'm so sorry Steph. He was very lucky to have you , sounds like he had a great life. He looks like a little lion in that last photo.

Hi Mike, glad you are well , welcome back

A book on Cats would be great! I've started looking through my Cats, but have very little knowledge on them so far. Of course the hybrid ones are easy to pick out and are beautiful! But I've always put any Cats I've received into a coffee container, and now that it's full, I guess I should start sorting and learning them I love the idea of a pocket display box Chuck, it seems like only the select special mibs would go in there.

Nice selection Chuck and such a cool display. This first one is 1 1/8" blue based. The second is 1", I like how small the diameter of the ribbons is.

Dang, Aventurine is difficult to photograph. Holding it in hand, the petals look velvety and they are SO sparkly. Trying to capture that with a cell phone camera ...... ugh. 5/8"

That's definitely sad and exciting at the same time. Sad to think of what may have made it to the dump but exciting with the stuff that was just found in Southern California! Imagine what else could be found. 5/8"

Here they are - Spaghettis!

I LOVE that the two clear red marbles are with the letter. Wow, the history there. This is an amazing find. Thank you for sharing!

Those are fantastic! I especially like that one on the right, I think you are right with Akro, but I wouldn't necessarily call those pontil marks. I'll let others more knowledgeable than I call that though. Beautiful!

Wow!! This is killing me, I only have my tiny phone screen to look at here at work a black pearlized patch?

Doh! Vacor! Thanks Steph. Bob, one photo is with flash, one is without And the mystery bags are fun.... if the price is right ! I'll get some pics of the other colors tonight, when I get home , I think they look pretty cool

Not quite sure what these are, got a fun "mystery swirls" ziploc bag off eBay, pretty interesting variety. These blue ribbons, sink down below the surface. There are others that are similar with white, yellow, pale orange, electric orange, and pale green ribbons on a clear base. 5/8" Thanks!

Can't wait to see !

I don't purchase a whole lot of handmades, and when I do, they are usually coreless, but this one...... BLEW ME AWAY (posted by akronmarbles in the Pontils thread)

You have two.... open one

I agree, looks like a bag you would put potpourri in for a drawer

It's the simple things....

I think so too Master has some really cool combos.

I'm pretty sure this is a Master Made

Master Made

You had me at melted butter and black pepper

It's a pretty chill night, we grilled some steaks earlier, baked potato and a salad. My man is asleep in his chair with a "Traveling Europe" show on TV. I have a beer and my marbles, I'm enjoying it. Cheers

Well, exciting Friday night for me - I just found Aventurine on two of my Vitros It's very difficult for me to photograph, it's a very fine Aventurine in the green, you can see it better on the marble on the right.

That is a great idea- Aventurine black I have to admit, I was totally blown away, thinking about "designing" or requesting marble combinations, whoa.
