MARBLEMISER Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Does any one remember the show where they were selling solid green aventurine mibs. The seller was selling them as Peltier. Some collectors said they were Champion. Also they would only sell 2 per person. help please. Thanks marblemiser PS they were before the JABO's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Sorry I can't answer the original question. But it leads to the technical question "What Exactly Is Aventurine In Marbles?" I have a nifty-looking two inch 'mineral sphere' that's basically solid green aventurine. It's a type of quartz. But I don't think that's what you're talking about here.

ann Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I can't answer your original question about a seller at a show. But I have two solid AV ones that, (theoretically) are Champion, and two that (theoretically) are Master. Typical swirly pattern ones = Champion, typical "sunburst" pattern ones = Master. That could be completely wrong, for all I know. Just what I've been told. Never heard of any being called Peltier. (And yep, the stone one is a different kettle of fish, as it were . . . ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARBLEMISER Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ok, I may have misremembered. Thanks Ann sometimes I have those CRS moments! Though there are 2 green AV types that are solid green. BESIDE"S the 2000 Jabos? That's a point I was trying to get across to a seller. MINE is not a Jabo!! I will be getting it back soon anyway. do you have any PICS of them you could post here? I can't answer your original question about a seller at a show.

zaboo Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 hi gang, this is the marble in question. dark clear body. swirls of somewhat chunky green aventurine with smaller swirls of blue aventurine. the marble is hard to photograph. this is showing it's two poles. 3/4".

lstmmrbls Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hate to say it but it does not look much like any of the different vintage solid aventurine types (3 types) that I have possessed. IT looks closest to the Master. They all had fine grain aventurine not the type that looks like this marble, which to my eyes appears like the new added aventurines???? Just from a picture it is tough?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaboo Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 those were my thoughts exactly galen. and yeah I have the other ones as well, but I have also not seen that type of aventurine in a vintage marble either. or the more powder blue aventurine in vintage. And never seen Pelt aventurine like it. none of ours( vintage with the fine aventurine) are 3/4" either. 11/16" about the largest. thanks for the input guys.

lstmmrbls Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 IMO a new marble and the 3/4 size just adds to it being new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I agree. Doesn't look like the superfine-particle-crammed-together AV of the older Champions & Masters. Or like Alley's. Looks newer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinemades Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 It does look like Alley "jolly green giant" or something like that from here. They are typically large with green transparent base glass loaded with aventurine. I have seen and owned small 11/16" version also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 It does look like Alley "jolly green giant" or something like that from here. More like that than anything else, I think, but mainly because of the white/whitish ribbons inside. But the ribbons don't look like these sparkly ones. The JGGs I have also have that very, very fine aventurine -- unlike this one, at least from what I can see. I've never seen a small jolly green giant! I envy you . . .

Nantucketdink Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I believe the 3/4" marble in question is from JABO March Madness in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARBLEMISER Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I believe the 3/4" marble in question is from JABO March Madness in 2008. so when in 1995 when I bought this marble. It was really a 2008 jabo. I was not the only person at that show that purchased these marbles. Guy's & gals this marble has been in my collection 20 years. maybe if zaboo could post a few more view's' not so blown up views. they could compare better?? Look at the pics that marboman posted. his looks a lot like mine. All it comes down to is I know when & where I got it. I know it isn't Jabo. And Galen fly a kite/ that's my story & I'm sticking to it. I won't stand for being called a LIAR. It is what it is. marblemiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy's & gals this marble has been in my collection 20 years. .... That's a definite puzzle, Ray. I'm feeling your frustration. But I don't know what it is myself. That's why I'm just watching.

lstmmrbls Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 What kind of kite!! You ask question I give my semi-educated opinion and ??? If it is old it is a new one for me.. And I have owned some of the better Alley Agates of the type mentioned and going by the picture they do not look similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARBLEMISER Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 according to the amount of marbles offered there were approx.250 to 300. available so to my limited knowledge there wasn't enough so everyone would own 1 you know the one that goes up on hot air thermals marblemiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 In marboman's pics of a Champion, there's more apparent variation in color than in the ones I have. And the particles don't look as small as those in mine . . . I'll see if I can't find a picture somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is far more like mine -- very "solid" looking as opposed to looking like AV flakes suspended in transparent. Can't see a surface pattern here though.
