Ray Garrison Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Does anyone have any suggestions on how to tell if a marble has been reheated or is original? What are some of the distinguishing characteristics of a reheated marble? How about some links with some pictures of reheated marbles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Here is a Guinea remelt. Look for squiggly edges on color bands. Duller colors than expected Patterns that don't look quite right. (reversing etc.)tiny tiny bubbles often form in groups or all over just under the surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Garrison Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Thanks everyone! Anyone else with more pictures of reheated marbles? would love to see more closeup of reheated characteristics. The large onionskin lutz on ebay is mine, actually I have updated that listing with close up photos of the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
