Mattshaw1953 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi, I'm pretty sure base glass is clear, but has a slight green hum about it, green translucent strands, one prominent green band framed in white?, it's mint, no wear.

Steph Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Bump again. Anyone know mists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Fairly well. But a photo has to be close and clear to really tell if a marble could be a mist. The "mist" itself is usually just a faint wash of color on the surface, and it's generally apparent that that's what it is. Kind of like a very thin transparent curtain of green or blue, usually. Kind of wavery in areas. Looks like there might be a white latticinio core there? If so, that alone would probably mean it's not a mist. Mists were cost-savers, and if they had anything additional at all it was usually a light sprinkling of mica -- no more. But it's hard to tell from the photo if those are white latticinio threads inside, or the green translucent strands Mattshaw mentions. If it's the green translucent threads and they're on the outside, it might be a mist. When you have a chance for a sharper photo, we should take another look. Be nice if it was one. I personally have not found many mists . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalshelf Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 This is a large 1 7/16" Banded Mist Marble that I posted on this site a little while back. Hopefully this will help with identification of mattshaw1953s marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattshaw1953 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hi, there's no core at all, just faint white strands, on or near the surface, I'll post some better pics this evening, if I find my camera charger that is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattshaw1953 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Better pics I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalshelf Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Looks like an onionskin to me, but, could be wrong. This is another Mist marble that I have with Mica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-80 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 From what the pictures show - this is an onionskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattshaw1953 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I thought Onionskins had to have an inner layer of opaque colour?, or is this a messed up Onionskin?, the prominent band of opaque white looks deliberate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Looks like an odd anemic onionskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 not seeing a mist here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I thought Onionskins had to have an inner layer of opaque colour?, or is this a messed up Onionskin?, the prominent band of opaque white looks deliberate. I'd probably put it with my banded transparents. Doesn't look like a mist to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
