Diverse Group

[jeeperman]

I have added a couple Burnt sparklers to the group aside the one I had and took a new photo. Looking at the image I realized how diverse my Sparkler collection is becoming. Thought I would share.

I have never heard the term "burnt sparkler before. Do they have a specific definition, or are they the ones pictured above that have a lot of brown?

[jeeperman]

Thanks guys. Aleece, the three burnt sparklers are the middle three in the center of the first row. They were dug from the Akro site in the early to mid 2000's and found about 10ft down. The one to the right is a little different from the others and I believe not nearly as many were found. It has a base like a silver oxblood where the others or a transparent opal base. They were all found in the same hole.

The silvery base is a stand-out, but with this group I

don't think I'd ever be able to pick a favorite! ( :

And the silver base is not a dug marble.

[jeeperman]

Uh oh. lol I thought it was. I could not remember all you told me when I got it and should have written it down. Please email me the info if you would be so kind. =}

[jeeperman]

No worries Aleece, they are certainly a nice marble.

Winnie, yes, that on is covered in Aventurine. I was lucky enough to find that one in the wild. =}
