Looks like the base glass is Opalescent and the cork look Dark reddish/Brown (Maybe Wine colored)....I hope it looks like the ones you already have......In any case, you cant go wrong for $2.11 delivered to your front door

Ya when I saw it it was a no brainer did not even snipe it when it ended I thought well putting it in the wrong catagory did not work for him . Will post pics when it arives. Mike

Hard to tell from the pics but might be a purple cork on a white /opalescent base which can sometimes appear to have a bit of blue. Like the one in my sig (although not a cork obviously)

And, a multitwist, so that adds to its 'value', IMHO.

well I allready got way more out of this marble the more I think about it it most likley is a purple and that is why there is some ? blue a bleed comming threw the base . I looked and have one almost like it and there is a shadow of blue under the white off the purple cork ,at least this one comming is nicer if the condition is good but all I can say is I have allready enjoyed my big investment .

Nice score Mike....looks like a really cool mib....We are all anxiously waiting to see.....

PS-When Red goes "submerged" into Opalescent (Blue) based glass....It gives off a Purple coloring

Edit is in Red writing... (I meant to say Blue opalescent glass)

Hi all well for sure I have got my moneys worth on this marble a lot of attention and even did what I do not like to do look at with a back light but that answered a lot it is a clear base glass with a very tight wrapped whispey white , and I will call it brown but even in hand I would have to put a ? behind it , but will leave it next to my bigger browns , The brown's are a few I left out of a box after I refilled it .
