bumblebee Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 So I have this marble #1 which is 0.66" and my gut says Akro Sparkler: Then I've got this marble #2 who is 0.72" and I always thought him a Master Sunburst, but when I look at that wide swath of color blending from blue to yellow on one side, it reminds me of a stretched out version of the color bands on the guy above. So who's who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Thanks, glad I'm not totally senile. #1 is one of my "lost marbles" which is a small but growing number of mibs in my collection whose origins are lost to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Agree. Couldn't #2 also be a Tiger Eye variant? Seems to have the structure of a TE rather than a Sunburst. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I agree that #2 has a Tiger Eye structure. (However Tiger Eyes are a type of Sunburst -- the earliest prettiest type to the best of my knowledge.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Here's the same Sparkler on the left next to another, smaller minimalist impostor Master Sunburst Tigers Eye Thingee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
