VTAndrea Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Well, some blue in this one but it has lots of mica in the valleys between the deep lobes. This was a basket case onion rescued by Leroy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ziggyzora made this request in the last November color post.... So, here's the challenge!! Marbles should be predominant in either red or green (or Both!!) But, they must have "snowy" mica!!! I'll comment that some of these recent monthly color "themes" seem to be bordering on the very complex to the point of excluding many on the board from participating. I would urge those who plan to be so specific to consider that complex, hard-to-find color concepts may be seen as creative - but they are also very exclusionary. Marbles meeting the above criteria have to meet 3-4 tests.... "snowy mica" not being a minor one by anyone's measure. I may be misunderstanding the intent of these threads - and perhaps the desire is for them to be small, with limited contributions from board members over the period of a month. As an earlier poster noted - I don't think you are going to get much participation...and when you do it will be contemps (which not everyone collects) and handmades (ditto). Respectfully, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbrezz Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Here is my Mike Barton Marble! I would say this is snowing mica, not snowy mica! But works for me! Mikes marbles are the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Uh Oh.... Pardon my late night confusion..... When I put in "Snowy" I was pulling the word from the quote... NOT claiming that the mica in the marble needed to be "snowy" in appearance!!! Then.... OK, your right... As a handmade collector, I forget how much this excludes the machine made collectors... So, let's call aventurine acceptable... I was leery of including aventurine, cuz I think we did it before.... Oh Heck!! Let's just say.... If the marble reminds you of the holiday season, it's a GO!!! We really don't have to stick to rules for this, right??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FeelingMarbleous Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 This Akro even has a Bird on it And he's smiling Collectively, these two types are often known as "birds," because when viewed from one angle the patches have a shape suggestive of the breast and head of a songbird. "Grebes" have a reddish orange to orange brown patch; "brown thrashers" have a dark brownish red patch; "golden tawnies" have a yellowish orange to orangish brown patch; and "rainbows" have all the colors seen on the previous three varieties.

kbobam Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hey Sue! You started it! And as such I'm going to answer your 'cleanup' question by continuing my gag pattern. What did Felix Unger used to say? "I'M not going to CLEAN THAT UP!" (If you can't make it out here until the weekend I'll understand.) On the other hand, Felix always did wind up cleaning it up, so we'll end with an 'Emily LaTella'. NEVER MIND! (Witch!) Hopefully interpreted as full of great affection, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
