mon Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I'm leaning towards CAC but can someone explain the distinct differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I would lean toward Alley but may be one of each with out having them in hand. Pictures make the call very difficult as it is hard to get an idea of what the glass quality is actually like. Alley Agate marbles tend to have more translucency to the base glass and not quite as clean and pure transparent glass. (not always the case). Also they can have more looping and twisting to the patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I think it's Alley Agate. This one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I got fooled with this. Paid way too much for it as a CAC. The glass is translucent and the underlying red was portrayed to me early on as purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mon Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I will try to post some others that came with these....this one was with them and I'm 99.9% sure this is a CAC. For whatever that's worth? As nice as the calligraphy marbles are, they either made very few or people don't bring them out much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Pretty little bloom on the right one here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNYD Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I would have it with Alleys. SNYD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleDawg86 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Very pretty. But I'd have to agree with alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Alley also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I think some are CAC and the globules seen under the transparent glass of Ednas marble are actually a fairly common CAC trait. Found on Alley Agates also? I have gone back and forth with these types for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mon Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 If the first two are Alleys, are they considered a calligraphy? Note: they are out of round like I've seen with lots of CACs. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNYD Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 If it was mine I would consider it calligraphy. SNYD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'm no expert but something about the pattern reminds me of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I meant to say that others ID'd it as Alley years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
