bermar Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 A Lemon/Lime or John Deere is Opaque Green and Yellow? Right? This one is A Darker Opaque Green and Orange with a very thin window showing a transparent base. Please name it. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermar Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Just came out of the dark room. The orange on the above marble may be slightly translucent. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Dragon or Flaming Dragon, depending on how the majority of collectors define "flaming." Has enough yellow in the orange to be flaming for me, but maybe not for others . . . I have a John Deer that has transparent green ribbons on an opaque yellow base. Don't know if the transparency makes a difference there. I'm still hunting the Ruby Bee I thought I already had until I found out the red had to have aventurine to be "Ruby." Serves me right for concentrating on Pelt slags and assorted whacko Pelt types. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migbar Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Flaming or not, that is a nice marble. I still am not convinced that a ruby bee has to have red aventurine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Isn't it just a Red Bee with out Aventurine and the sparkle of the Aventurine is what first garnered the name "Ruby". Thats how it was many years ago but I do know things change. I think some now use the transparent or Opaque Red as the break but that just doesn't do it for me. But then I am a hard headed old crotchety marble gatherer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migbar Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Contrary to what Galen and Sami might say, I think Peltier red aventurine is a myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Now I have a good excuse to buy a Peltier, But I have even seen red aventurine in an red and yellow Akro corkscrew. I do not consider the type with a dark stripe of aventurine in the red band red aventurine. I have a killer reddish orange and yellow handgathered marble loaded with aventurine in the red. The aventurine does float to the surface in that clear glass and can drift almost over the whole marble, thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
