Steph Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Now that I'm more comfortable taking photos, it's time to show my DAS's some love again. I keep coming back to this particular run, don't I. But I'll post some others as I pack them away for the move. July 28, 2014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Yes! How fun! My small handful stay cushioned in their DAS gift box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 What's really fun about that lamp is I bought it filled that way. I have a nice "safe" plastic tray with my 35 favorite Crystal Supermen in it. That tray is mostly Rams Horns as that pattern is quite stunning with this marble.

Steph Posted November 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 What is that hiding inside? A fox head? A star? How did it get there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 That would be a JABO machine made sulphide of course. It's a copper star in a Reno Transparent. They have a small object only teleportation machine at JABO... It is the same machine they use to send back JABOs in time so they appear in antique only marble lots.

Nantucketdink Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 The teleportation machine isn't always accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Can someone give me an "e." I would like to buy a vowel. Maybe Rick Hall or someone else involved with the Reno Transparent Run can better explain exactly how they put the star in there. We can all just take guesses too.

Nantucketdink Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Guess 1-pushed into stream. Guess 2-definitely teleportation machine Guess 3- wicked powerful magnet Guess 4-saw, drill, and epoxy Guess 5-expandable copper was used that grows 20 times its original size when it cools.

Steph Posted November 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 It just looks like it was put there on purpose. It was aventurine! So much aventurine it reduced into copper and crystallized into a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 So ... to be serious .. I had NO idea they were putting stuff inside the marbles like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 I knew of a couple of experiments that weren't very successful. I don't know if there is any true "success" yet as even this marble has a fracture. If I didn't just say it, you wouldn't have known. I didn't know these were made either until it popped up on ebay a few days ago. Maybe Dare or Rick or somebody else who knows about it can shed some light if he/she reads this and knows of them.

Nantucketdink Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I was informed that this marble was a result of tool testing for a future JABO sulfide run. It is not so easy to hold a tool in the stream without pulling glass away I was told. That is what I imagined. Thank goodness for experimentation and thank goodness multiple people at multiple locations are still making machine mades in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 I have two more runs of DAS's already to photograph. The Ed and M run and the Thanksgiving run. But we're in the middle of this endless move and I have to set up my camera again and figure all that out on the new computer. In the meantime, I just ran across this -- this might be THE lawnchair of the Lawn Chair Run from 2009. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted December 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 The DAS Christmas marbles are _very_ Christmassy ... green and red and gold ... but no pictures ... the move is really really REALLY real now. We're taking the cats over to the new place tonight. So I have to figure out how to use the camera and upload pictures on the new computer. Maybe someone else can post some pictures. They are really sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I just got my full case of the Christmas ones. Yummy. Sorting through a new case of nice unknown marbles is such a joy. Green and red floaters with lutz swirls screams CHRISTMAS to me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
