marbles34 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I seen this killer peltier miller bumble bee go off yesterday and I was the lucky winner. Is it me or does it look like a blue bee, thoughts? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-VINTAGE-MARBLE-5-8-Bumblebee-NICE-/271912578043?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=WXbkb%252BWwtcPjHo4i7Omqziql0Y0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaMarble Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Yup. Blue Bee. I had been watching that one as well. Those things are notorious for blow outs. Great pattern on this one! Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sclsu Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Would this be a blue bee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 sclsu your marble is not a Blue Bee, nor a Peltier. A Blue Bee is a Peltier NLR Bumblebee with blue adventurine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it wasnt, as it didn't have quite the same look at the eBay one, but I figured I would ask while this thread was here. I am having a heck of a time distinquishing nlr's from similar colored swirls. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I am having a heck of a time distinquishing nlr's from similar colored swirls. Thanks for the help. It will help if you think of NLRs as ribbon marbles, and swirls as something else entirely. There will occasionally be really "swirly" NLR s, mostly the kind people (mis)label "miller," and a few "sparse" swirls, but if you think -- for instance -- "six ribbons, more-or-less, three on one side, three on the other," you'll start getting the hang of it -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
