Gnome Punter Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I listed several marbles. I was near asleep so ignore the one marked as an Imperial that should be a carnelian. I went to edit it and a guy already bid on it . I also double listed a purple transitional instead of listing a 2nd red as well. We had felled 5 trees and had to chop them all up and by the time i went to list my hands were killing me and I was falling asleep at the key board ANYWAY The CHerryades I listed, could someone tell me if they ARE cherryades ? I was perplexed to say the least. I listed them as Carnelians then a friend said they felt they were ades, then neither of us could remember what ade glowed and what did not and if Carnelians were supposed to glow or they were not carnelians.... http://www.ebay.com/usr/scattered Also I wanted some input on the Akro with the big swatch of AV. I have not seen that much AV in an Akro patch before and I am assuming it was a dug marble based on that, any clarity would be appreciated ALSO Have a sunburst that just baffled me. I was sure it was a sunburst till that other thread now I still think it is,but not 100% sure. It has 2 colors, not many....and I still think it is a sunburst,but I listed it could be either and would rather someone confirm my view so I can remove the additional information so as not to confuse a newer collector ALSO The one listed as Vitro agate trilite oddity, i am still a bit off as I feel it is not a trilite but something else and finally has anyone have the issue where you go click on list a similar and it has the price of the previously listed marble and you go to change it and it changes back,over and over and over and over and over......It was driving me mad. I had to list, then go back and revise. It was the only way I could get the price to change...if so, did you find a fix ? it's like I am having to list everything twice just to get the price right. I began, at a point, of just letting crap list at 5.90 and not caring any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 In the cherry-ade lot, I wouldn't say carnelian because I'm not seeing the brown I would expect for those. So while I'm not sure when everyone else uses the name cherry-ade, I'll guess you've listed those okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Well, I had too many windows open while I was responding to the listing titled "Master ?Akro? Sparkler? Sunburst ...M- 45/64". http://www.ebay.com/itm/231334486714 It seems possible that it's Akro. I wouldn't call it a sparkler though. Some signs point to Master but there is an Akro family of yellow patches with a little white. Is the base glass green-tinted or is that a trick of the lighting? Maybe someone else can readily ID it.

Steph Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yeah, the 5th could be carnelian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Galen has posted a pic of a jar of yellow Akro patches. That might be interesting to look at again now. I'd try to pull it up for you, but I think I lost a lot of pictures while preparing for my last computer reformat. I'll have to try to find my last backup.

Steph Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I think not all "ades" react to UV. Not sure though. I stubbornly call them Moss Agates, which covers both glowers and non-glowers, so I keep not learning all the different collectors' distinctions, even though I sort of think I'd like to know the current names.

lstmmrbls Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 i am thinking the yellow may be Akro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Steph, you are correct with moss agates. that is how they were boxed and sold from Akro, and yes 'ades' all have to glow. FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yah, I changed it to Akro yesterday after reviewing other images, thanks for th pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 some Carnelians glow but many do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Another baffling issue is why is this one sitting at 10.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Akro-Agate-Aventuring-mossy-patch-NM-18-8-/331320124468 Yah, I know, I added a G instead of an E in the title. That was the 1st patch I had ever seen with so much AV in it. Most had specks I figure it has to be 1 of a kind with my limited marble exposure. The high bidder is one of my regular buyers and he scoffed that it would sell for nothing compared to a purple popeye where as the patch would be rarer than any bag full of popeyes. I know, people love popeyes, but still, it's almost shameful it is sitting there at a nothing price with only 2 watchers. If it were not one of my regular buyers I would have already cancelled it and tossed it back in the jar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 It may be a Master(which often have Aventurine) has a big defect and has been well played with. I would say 10 bucks is a great price and anything more should have you dancing(or maybe at least happy with the sale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Everything else ends tonight Board members get gifts with purchases I do my best to make people happy so it's not .10-1.00 marbles I give away, usually better.
