orbboy Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Actually out of the handfull I had Alan sold 2 of them over the years and called them Masters. I sold 3 at least as Masters to serious collectors with no problems. All sold for $30-$35 each cuse they had good Aventurine in them. There must have been something that struck Alan as odd about the one he just offered. Pics are not really helpful in his auction to be able to offer any input. So here is a picture of a marble instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywho, I asked about a solid one because I have one that's short of 3/4 and it's got a dented line almost all the way around it. :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Dug out my handful (6) and all are the swirly type, opaque, fairly dark, and obviously glittery. Got them a few years ago as a group, and as "unknown." I had no idea the Alley aventurine swirls had once been identified as Peltier. Were they IDed as Peltier back when because Peltier was then thought to be the only company regularly using aventurine? Now I have to go home and compare their aventurine to the solid aventurine mibs . . . but if memory serves (and it might not!) I don't know that they're going to be significantly similar . . .

Ally Opp Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 It's the weekend back to marbles.Have you ever tried to photograph yellow aventurine?Not easy but I'll get it.Any suggestions about how to get better pics of aventurine.Yea I need a better camera hmmmmm.... Natural sunshine is the only way I can really see adventurine, especially if it is subtle. I've tried taking photos outdoors to try and capture the effect, but my Canon Powershot is limited. I have a handful of cats with green veins drenched in light green adventurine and cannot get a decent photo. But they look good outdoors on the full sunny day!

marboman Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 WOW! WOW! WOW!.....WOW Serious Aventurine! What size.....,does it matter? Don't laugh at my Jabo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 O.K., is that Orange Aventurine or an orange marble with sparkle? Innocent question. Didn't Jabo just recently pull something off with orange aventurine? I think a trick for shooting aventurine inside is angling at the marble a strong Mag-Lite and shooting.

marboman Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 David ,yes that is green aventurine,seperate from the other colors.This marble does contain a light orange aventurine also.The two colors of aventurine are seperated by the orange and pink area surrounding the green aventurine.Then the orange aventurine is borderd by the yellow colored glass.Two different colors of aventurine on one marble.Serious aventurine.Heres another pic ,do you like it?Trying to get better pics,these pictures were taken outside lighted by the sun.Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Very unusual. Last pics seemed to be the best so far especially the one on the left. I'm going to have to look at my marbles closer. Steve has always been bugging me that I don't see enough colors, aventurine and such. Guess I'm just old fashion and have been tracked to accept or expect only so much. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
