Two Specials, 11/16"

Happy Akro Friday ! One Green Perfection One Red Onyx -Jess

That photo is most of the 9/16" Akros that I own, there are 51 total - 46 that are 9/16" and five that are a little bit smaller at 17/32". That's what I have.

Ah that's right. I remember those conversations now, I will go look them up.

First of all, these are GREAT photos! I think that this gray color is an accidental mix of the two colors (in yours it looks like a blue on yellow) and that it happened pretty frequently. There are those here that are far more versed in the glass mixtures, but I can at least contribute a photo. Here are three, two yellow and blue, and one yellow and green, where the glass mixture resulted in a gray.

I was incredibly fortunate, right time and right place. I bought them from MarbleAlan, I wish I had known him longer, an amazing and fun person, gone too soon.

Ha! That's me I was on a cornflower blue ( or periwinkle ) kick for a while and gathered as many as I could get my hands on, which was not a whole lot to be honest. I'll get a photo of my finds and post them here *update: Here they are, I really like that blue. The group photo is a new photo, the other two photos I've shared before, and they are my favorite of the group

That's a really fun idea!

That is a cool marble for sure, I like the blends and unusual corks. As for the size 9/16", I just went through a lot of my Akros and came up with this group, with five of them being a size smaller at 17/32". In the photo below, I suspect that green and orange on the far left as being buffed or polished, so it may not have been that size originally and probably doesn't belong in this group. There are two patches, one an oxblood. Make of it what you will, I just love any reason to sort through a bunch of my Akros again 😆

Here's my face - 2023, on my visit back home to Alaska. I've collected Akro Agate marbles for twenty years now, I can't believe it's been that long, but I still can't get enough of them and love finding a new color combination, they seem endless. My other hobbies are photography (nature mostly), rock painting, and metal detecting the beaches of NE Florida. Jess or Jessica, either one is good with me.

Oh dear. I am at 129.

The lighting looks great on both photos, the second photo is sharper than the first.

An unusual brown Special.

This is the second one, I bought them together about fifteen years ago, I like to think they've been together for a hundred years. This one is also 11/16"

It's Friday! I love looking through everyone's Akros, it always brightens my day. A Prize Name, 11/16"

I checked with a few pages, and MK was the final answer on these Happy MK Monday!

One of my favorite photos

Akro Friday! A transparent Orange snake I haven't been on for a while, I love seeing everyone's Akros! ❤️ -Jess

Great comparison photos!

Nice set of Akros ❤️ In that top photo, the three Green and Yellow Popeyes, that middle one looks like a glower. Is that a UV Popeye? -Jess
