daveducci Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I think this is a green mica at 5/8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Could we have one view with more magnification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 From this view, I don't see mica. The color doesn't seem right for a green one, and the inclusions seem like it might be unmelted stuff, or sand, or brick or other material. I'm not seeing a pontil either, but not seeing one doesn't mean much. It could be a small melon ball with bubbles, I suppose, I'm just not sure.

I'llhavethat1 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Base glass looks a bit milky. Sometimes backlighting it will help identify if there is a pole to pole construction which, along with pontils you'd normally expect on a handmade. Sure is a bright green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Perhaps many tiny bubbles instead of mica. Yours looks like a machine made marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Oooh oooh oooh! Could it be a Master Cloudy? What shades did they come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 That's really bright green ... maybe too bright for what I have in mind but I'll put this out there anyway. I'm wondering if it belongs with the marbles on the left side of this box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 That appears to be bubbles inside, not mica. I really think this could be a Master Cloudy. If that's so, then it's a relatively uncommon. Well, I don't know how common it is, but probably most people who have them don't know what they have. I had some when I first started collecting and didn't know what I had and sold them cheaply. I don't know what value they should have, but it should be quite a bit more than an ordinary solid-colored marble. If it is indeed a Master Cloudy, I'd call it a keeper.
