BuckEye Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi everyone, The marble on the left I won on the bay, took two weeks to arrive but whatever....Anyway it is 11/16" has two cut marks, the colors are baby blue, brown, elect orange, purple(lavender) It has an as made fold at one "end" and an area of what I can only refer to as mottling (almost like orange peel) adjacent to that fold that covers 5 cm circle or so. The electric orange when compared to known is not quite correct in its crispness. But all of it fluoresces correctly and the orange even does in some areas too. Being 11/16 it is a little big for a striped opaque and to be honest the mottling has me concerned that it is torch made. I got as good of pictures that I could get of these, please any and all opinions are welcome!... there is a return policy, but it is soon! Thanks Again, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Looks much more torch than vintage to me. Actually it doesn't look vintage at all to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckEye Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 it looked good from the pics on ebay, but they were muted and far away....looks like I will only buy higher end mibs from reputable dealers, and to that effect, maybe only from people I know at shows....I was getting the bug though! Thanks for the info C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info C Good idea. Ebay is so hit and miss. But there is always the shot at getting a great deal on a great marble.....so its kind of alluring.

david Chamberlain Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Well it appeared to be given diminished importance in the Thread so I thought I'd 'scare-up' some respect for it. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
