2 peltier nlrs. Is the top one a black widow/wasp and bottom a tiger or would you say both are tigers?

thanks

I think you have a Wasp & a Tiger.

I'm not sure where the Black Widow comes in

for Peltier.

I have seen it used on ebay.

But not something a true Pelt Head would use for either of your mibs.

Nice BTW.

The first one might be what Marblealan calls a Wiger...too red for a Tiger, and too orange for a Wasp.

I got the black widow from America Machine Made Marbles bottom of page 132: .... Wasp is incorrect name for a Black Widow. So I put both since I did not know which name the various marble gurus used. Evidently you are not one to use black widow.

Thanks.

Pelter NLR's are called Wasps not Black Widows.

Many books on marbles have mistakes.

Yep, love a good wasp....make sure to use a good strong light as some of them have a blue aventurine, very few but I got a nice surprise once. How close in hand is the true color on that one. Does look a little orangy but I like it, and know how hard it is not to wash the red out with light trying to get a pic.

Here are 2 more pics. Pretty much same look in hand.

[MARBLEMISER]

With the new pics I'll have to change my first

impression ( guess ).

I'll say Wiger, too red for a tiger,

too orange for for a wasp.

Oh! no harm no foul>>

Thanks

I am thinking what was said above about being between orange and red fits if that is the true color. Give me a second and I will post a pic of my tiger and wasp, even in my pic the red is not quite as dark as it is in hand.

Must have been typing at the same time as Marblemiser. I would agree, and a cool marble.

Here are mine, while still slightly lighter than in hand there is quite a difference.

The coloration is why I asked. Side by side the "wiger" is darker than the tiger, but still not a definite red. Not color blind but kinda "color dumb" after a while the brain starts to question what is seen.

Thanks for all of you input. I've learned a lot. Now if you would go to Marble ID and give me an opinion on my 10/3 post, I'd be appreciative. 50 some views and no op's. I did use deodorant that day.

Thanks

Howard, I had the same issues with another of mine which is why I posted the side by side. Hoping it would be of some help. Glad ya got it nailed down.
