see ya tomorrow!

How did Alley patches dug at Sisterville get IDed as Akro

the brains were Champions.

They are just gonna be pictures of all the slags he already owns. Just kidding but hoping it will make you show some pics

If old it appears to be remelted

I will be attempting to do the Winter show once again

Good eye I do see them on top right of the other pic!! I was way wrong with my "probably reflections" remark thats for sure. Hey Rich, see how easy that is(LOL)

And they absolutely know they are not the real deal, sad how a few bucks can ruin so many people so easily

In ornithology class they were often called backwards flying Pterodactyl birds because of their in flight silhouette.

I sure wouldn't want to gamble that they are not fractures.

I had the local Medium channel up Sellers and he said it was an accident but he thought it was an interesting effect.

It is a standing joke in my area, A 1,000 dollar car with 3,000 dollars in Tires and rims. It seems some of the older GM cars accept the largest rims with the fewest modifications. And I get a big laugh out of the number decals in the rear passenger window bragging how large the rims are. The Jag has tires with minimal side walls, so the smooth ride is the result of some kind of active suspension system that involve airbags, actuators and bunches of other stuff (thats as technical as I get (LOL) the book calls it Computer Active Technology Suspension. Lloyds beast reminds me of some of my most exciting off road adventures, done in a old Power Wagon.

I wonder if any of the modern aventurine types(which are likely made differently than Pelt glass anyway) would retain the crystalline structure after spending hours or days in a molten furnace. I do not believe so. I only know of it being added at the last minute or last few minutes to todays marbles or used in the cooler torch flames.

That is definitely a VACOR Serpent.

Perhaps the glass has the right time period in cooling to form aventurine on the smaller marbles and not the larger?? I honestly do not believe they made aventurine glass and then put it into the furnace to make the stripes. The glass at Peltier was in separate furnaces for each color. Nothing at all like the added to the furnace aventurine glass that is being used in todays blingy machine mades I think that is one of the things that has lead to many folks thinking it was intentional and added. I just have to believe if Peltier was intentionally making aventurine glass it would have been mention in many places many times. In most cases adding aventurine glass into a furnace melting it to the point it can follow a stream and feed through nozzles of sorts would result in the aventurine disappearing. Similar to how the goldstone can turn to Oxblood in many cases when added to the furnace. The crystal are just not stable enough for a long period of melting and remelting in a furnace. I think the first time any of the aventurine in Peltier NLRs forms is when the marble is made and it is totally happenstance whether it forms or not. Sure would like to hear from Brian G. on what he thinks.

Derrick has a good eye. That is a wonderful marble Winnie.

In all of the Peltier paperwork that I know of and have been lucky enough to read there is no mention any where in any way about aventurine or sparkly color or lutz or any other related names of formulas. I also believe that Mike never found any related discussions or mentions of sparkly or aventurine or what ever. And the paperwork is extremely thorough. I will continue to believe it was accidental just as it is in many cat eyes Vitro whities Japanese Pincers and I believe in the blue and green aventurine Alley Agates. Just my opinion. I believe in striving for the deep rich colors they were attempting to make the overabundance of metallic oxides formed aventurine in some cases. Simple as that.

I can very clearly see what appears to be 2 annealing fractures in the circle running 1- 7o'clock. Problem with photos is they are probably just reflections from what they are sitting on.

I am still betting no coating no bumps. Just the normal grooves and ridges

I am betting with you.

Gret shot! The Canon SX series actually have a Fireworks setting in Scene settings. It worked well but I can not find where I put the pics, Checking old computor

It is a pet peeve with me calling marbles over 3/4" "shooters". They just aren't!

Nice shot for sure. I want the boat!

The letter k was a favorite of Eastman's; he is quoted as saying, "it seems a strong, incisive sort of letter."[24] He and his mother devised the name Kodak with an Anagrams set. Eastman said that there were three principal concepts he used in creating the name: it should be short, easy to pronounce, and not resemble any other name or be associated with anything else.[25] It has also been suggested that Kodak originated from the suggestion of David Houston, a fellow photographic inventor who held the patents to several roll film camera concepts that he later sold to Eastman.[25] Houston, who started receiving patents in 1881, was said to have chosen Nodak as a nickname of his home state, North Dakota (NoDak).[26][27] This is contested by other historians, however, who cite that Kodak was trademarked before Eastman bought Houston's patents.[28]
