bermar Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I understand an indian marble has either an opaque base or a translucent (maglite) base. This one that looks like an indian has a transparent purple-tinted base. Any ideas? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 If the only surface colors are white (and not the multitude of colors usually seen on an indian), my guess would be a cane-cut slag with a purple base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermar Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thank you. Now, this one has no internal swirls. The white stripes are only surface. Can it still be a slag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 So the part that appears red isn't white under the purple glass (making it look red-ish)? If it is actually red and white on the surface, it probably wouldn't fall into the slag category. Nice marble though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Are those a few red stripes as well? On the surface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermar Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Carefully studying with bright light and 10X glass, I can find nothing beneath the surface. The camera picks up more red than I can see without the camera, but the red is there thinly bordering the white definitely on the surface. The interior is completely clear, tinted purple. Wha da ya think? Thanks. Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermar Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'm wondering if the appearance of red could be a reflection of the purple off the edge of the white ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Maglite Indian IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
