@teajayo Love love love that Orange Spiral Snake! And very nice collection of Akro @The Nickel Guy ! I love Akro Friday 🤩 Here are a couple of UV reactive Akro corkscrews. 1 UV Popeye 1 UV Eggyolk with dark blue and the thinnest strand of Ox I've ever seen, 5/8"

Very nice! Super hard to find in any condition, you have a special marble there. Thank you for taking the time to get more photos of it!

Very cool, love the collection. I think I see the typo

My focus for years has been Akro, but in my collection antics, these four Vitro All Reds were acquired and have haunted me for just as long. I love them. I'd love to see more of these if you want to share

Wow! I'm always encouraged to see something like this found. 😍

That Blue and Green in your first photo is a pretty hard to find color combination, green on blue, nice!!! I've really only ever seen one, and it's in my collection. I'm really happy to see yours and in much better shape than mine thanks for sharing that!

Finding the marbles is the fun part, the hard part is photographing these tiny little highly reflective orbs 😕

All these Jabo marbles are gorgeous, one thing I really love about Jabos is that they can be narrowed down to a run, to specific people/makers, to a specific date even, so cool. I have two Jabos, one is a Toucan Sam marble that I got to name in 2018 for the Equinox Run! I thought that was really cool. There was a contest, they shared photos of the marble and the contest was to come up with the best name for it, the winner of the contest won the marble, I won!! I chose Toucan Sam because the colors made me think of Fruit Loops. The second two photos were from another contest, and for winning, MrsMopar (Felicia) sent me this Jabo donut necklace and a handmade bag, the chain for the necklace is also handmade and came with the Jabo donut/lifesaver pendant. I can't remember exactly what the contest was, I think it was one of those guess the number games? It was in 2009, and my memory isn't what it used to be. -Jess

5/8" Yellow and White on a transparent Blue. I think they were made around the same time. I love them despite the damage. I took so many photos this morning (I'm just now realizing it's 3pm lol)

Translucent green base on these three. The two Orange corks are 21/32" The Yellow cork is 5/8"

My two favorite 1" Akros

A Powder Blue on Orange 11/16" A Green and Yellow on Lavender 19/32"

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.
