ann Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm barely literate in MKs, I just bought this marble because I thought it was pretty. Mainly because of the patch, it called to my mind the Berry Pink. Sort of, anyway. Now that I have it in hand, it's a little stranger than I thought. The base has a light blue-ish cast -- doesn't look white at all in normal light -- and backlit it is very heavily opalescent. I don't know if it would be a Berry Pink variant or something, or not. Maybe something else altogether. What do you think? (sorry for the small photos -- they're all I could get off of ebay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 My guess would be Pelt, but larger pics will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I heard you say Pelt with a strange sense of relief. I'm not crazy I'm not crazy I'm not crazy. I can't get the pics to save for me in a larger format, but It was ebay #301619370377. The pics there are much bigger . . . I'd appreciate any ideas or opinions - - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 With the larger pics it does look like something I would call a Pelt. It also looks like something that I argued long and loud for it being a Pelt and I was told no. But really I don't see anything else but Pelt there.

ann Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 OK, I'm feeling much better now. I didn't quite have the nerve to say what I thought the "something else altogether" might be. Probably because I'm not as familiar with MK as I should be, so I kept thinking "well, for all I know, it could be, I guess, even though it looks like a Pelt to me . . ." Thanks for posting the link, Steph -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Neat Peltier. You can even see some fairly obvious flip flop in the pattern colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Ann, Berry Pinks are larger marbles - one inch. I have only seen 3 varieties. (1) opaque white base, (2) pale blue opaque base (I've only seen one and I've been looking for a long time and (3) a clear base. I will post larger photos of the 1 and 3 for you.

sissydear Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 The one on the left is a Berry Pink. Jim Garber sold me these two together because he thought the one on the right was related. I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 The clear based one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thank you all! I sifted through my Pelt box last night and discovered that the new Pelt (yay!) looked perfectly at home -- even relaxed -- next to my one and only copperhead. How nice to learn stuff . . .
