zaboo Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Ok, so I am still going thru the 20K+ marbles... came upon this one. Grabbed it to picture and list and then took a really good look at it. WoW! Has anyone ever seen something like this is a mica? if so, does it have a name? Wish the pictures captured it a little better. awesome super strange mica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 A ghost core ribbon is all? Or is the mica distribution doing a lobed dance as well? Hard to see in the pics. Most of my micas have the ghost core ribbon thingy, if that is what you are asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 hi Roger, no the ghost cores look deliberate. not the usual ghost core. it appears that clear, it has the shape of a jelly core, and the ribbons are made up of the same odd bubble glass. I know it's really hard to tell in a picture. if it gets sunny here today I will try an outside picture. it's the strangest one I have ever seen. The core twists around like a jelly core too. that's about the best way I can describe it. the ribbons look deliberate as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbboy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Here is a green one with a pretty defined core like yours. I also had a yellow one that had it is well. Not sure where the pics of that one went though? I got great results showing the core on the yellow one by putting it in a dish of water outside in the sun. I'll keep looking for the pics.
