BuckEye Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 There always seems to be some confusion on these. All of the ones pictured are cyclones, but only one crosses over and is a cobra. All Cobras are cyclones but not all cyclones are Cobras.... Cobras IMHO look handgathered and like, well, a cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 The blue and red one is the Cobra? A cyclone is a guinea with at least one side which gets all tangled up inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 It would be a tough arguement to say those aren't some of the nicest looking marbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mibstified Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I have a few cyclones and Guinea cyclones. One or two I think are cobras and a few are wannbe cyclones, but I kike'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I wish somebody would explain in words what a cyclone is and what a cobra is. I ain't smart enough to deduce it from the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckEye Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 All of the marbles I posted are cyclones. Cyclones that look like a cobra are Cobras, it's all semantics really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thank you! I've usually seen the two terms used interchangeably or been told one was an older term and the other a newer one . . . Since I am unlikely to have any more than the three barely-there half-cyclones I already have (to go with my 6 half-guineas, 2 of each base color), I haven't worried about the terminology much. But these pictures are making me . . . well, weep, frankly. Sob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
