marbles34 0 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IowaMarble 0 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MC Marbles 0 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 -- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
