Been polished real hard, polished so much that it lost it's yellow, and what little bit of yellow that was left changed colors. Ronnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1313 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 i didnt see any ridging in it and thought it look cueballed, but wouldnt have guessed the yellow had been erased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wediscount2 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 i didnt see any ridging in it and thought it look cueballed, but wouldnt have guessed the yellow had been erased Yeah they big time cueballed it. Probably was 13/16ths to begin with. The 1st and 4th photos show needle like ends where the colors are being thinned out, especially in that 4th photo. Wouldn't have taken much more grinding to have turned it into a clearie. I would guess to say that when that marble was made it was a super 4 color popeye, maybe 5 colors. Oh well crap happens.

clydetul62 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Polished or not. You dont see any yellow because its not blue/yellow. Its blue/green. The green is below underneath the blue. The green may florensce as well. I had one just like this about 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The green being underneath the blue, and all, or most of the color being on the surface, is what made me wonder if it's just a blue/green spiral with added white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
