ann Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Boy do I need help with this one. Forgive the pics lifted off of ebay. But they'll do to illustrate my confusion, I think. Beh. Maybe not. Anyway. This was listed as a Euro. I didn't think so, from what I could tell, so I took a flyer on it. What the heck. Nobody else seemed interested. Now I have this weird THING in hand and I'm baffled. Not that that's unheard of, or anything . . . but still. It looks like an amber CAC slag, really, but . . . the actual base glass (which seems to be only about half the marble) is a nice transparent cherry red. Huh? I put it with my CACs and it almost looks right. I roll it over towards my transparent / translucent based blended things, and it almost looks right. But not quite as much. Nudge it into my Euros and it looks out of place. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'd probably have suggested Marble King except .... cherry base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 May we see the 2 sides of the marble between the seams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 May we see the 2 sides of the marble between the seams. Those are the only shots I have that show any part of what you want to see -- but both sides show the S or arabesque shape like you usually see on CACs, as opposed to the straighter version usually found on the Euros.

ann Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'd probably have suggested Marble King except .... cherry base? Yea, I kept trying to put it with my very few blended MKs . . . but the cherry base was weird even to me, a person not noted for MK knowledge . . .

ann Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi Ann. your marble is akro all the way. What??? Akro??? >>>quietly holding together pieces of blown mind<<< Although . . . now you mention it, it does have what I think of as that silly Akro "smile" for seams . . . Boy. This is going to take some adjustment . . . maybe even a re-grooving . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
