Hello everyone! I won these two lots on ebay last night and was just wondering if you guys think they are what I think they are? I believe they are both lots of Navarre transitionals!?!?!?!? I have my fingers crossed! ;)

Auction 1

Auction 2

I cannot really tell from my computer the pics are dark.

Marbles34, Hard to tell for sure from the pics.

I do see hand gathered slags in there.

Some could be transitionals.

I do not see Navarre as such.

There is a good chance on some being M F Christensen.

They seem to be good sizes. You did well in any case.

Hi Chris, They may be Navarre or they may be transitionals, but they are not both. Navarre marbles are handmade all the way! Transitional marbles are hand-gathered and machine rounded! Hope some of those have a melted pontil, pic too blurry to tell.

This one is 7/8" and mint, nice odd color too!

Thanks everyone for the help! I can't wait until the end of the week! I will take some pics when they come in and let you know what they are. If you read the descriptions in both auctions it says something about a rough spot where the swirl ends?? Hopefully a pontil!

Well I got the two lots in the mail today that I bought off ebay and much to my suprise they are ALL melted pontil transitionals!!!!! I believe they are all Navarre? The amber three are all around an inch and the rest are around 3/4. The one amber one had some annealing fractures but is still a beautiful marble! Thought I would share them with you! :D
