Very cool colors, I love the base!
It looks Pelt to me also, especially the blow-out holes in picture #3 and the what looks like a seam in picture #5.
Nice find

Thanks I was pretty excited to see that oxblood, I don't have any others like it.
Lol at built in marble stand.
I love the feathering on yours - Pelts, is it?

I was thinking maybe a porcupine too, but the legs are too long, porcupines have little short legs.
Do you have a shot of the front of the face? does it have a flat or a pointy nose?
in the second picture, at the very top, four from the right, is that a pearlized patch, anybody?
If it is, that is worth a bit, depending on who you're talking to
Lol
Looks like he's a frequent seller, I'm guessing maybe he enters the category number when he's drawing up his auctions, and he just hit the wrong numbers this time.
That sure doesn't look like a marble to me.

So, my blue is a moss agate ?
The base looks like the moonstone glass that you are describing, there are no white filaments running through it.
Thank you for clearing that up for me. -Jessica
I'm glad you guys brought this up, because I have been staring at this marble for a couple years now, not sure what to call it. It's got a light blue translucent base with a light blue corkscrew (kinda messy, but still a corkscrew)
What do you guys think? I hadn't heard of a moss agate corkscrew before.

at flanco, I was thinking the same thing.
I wandered around one of my flea markets Saturday morning for about 2 and a half hours, and nothing.
not to mention it was about 100 degrees outside. marbles make me do crazy things. -Jess
I guess what I meant to say is, does anybody else want to share some pics of some nice onyxes?
I would love to see some more colors.
I just won an auction that has an orange onyx in it, I can't wait to see it. I don't have that color yet.
-Jessica
Whoops! I think I spelled that wrong, it's Onyx, not Auger, lol.
Or are they the same type of marble? I seem to recall reading somewhere that these were called augers.
