fentonacres Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 The black-brown has a bit of metallic fleck... there are 8 total. Pics show one side of each 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 The one on the left looks like it might be an Akro cork. The other three look like Peltier "zebras." The bit of metallic fleck is aventurine. Look at all three of them under a very bright light and see which ones you get a glitter from. You may be pleasantly surprised! Sometimes the aventurine appears as a silver or gold glitter, but some zebras have other colors too -- here's one of mine, a "bronze" aventurine zebra with a few flecks of green AV too.

fentonacres Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks! They all have some aventurine and I think most are either silver or gold... I will have to get out my lupe to really examine it! LOL. Cool stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Ann, do you mean the one on the front left here as looking like an Akro cork? http://www.carolinefentonphotography.com/Albums/FENTON-MARBLES/i-MP97F46 Yes, more pics of that one would be good. Caroline, that could turn out to be an Akro cork with a nice number of loops, or it could turn out to be a Peltier Broken Cork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Didn't even think of it possibly being a Pelt broken cork. >> slaps self on head << Would make sense in that group . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fentonacres Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Here are the additional views of the "odd man out" (left one in original post pic). http://www.carolinefentonphotography.com/Albums/FENTON-MARBLES/i-tSQDwCb http://www.carolinefentonphotography.com/Albums/FENTON-MARBLES/i-48bcmD7 http://www.carolinefentonphotography.com/Albums/FENTON-MARBLES/i-JnbcmdZ http://www.carolinefentonphotography.com/Albums/FENTON-MARBLES/i-qMDNHk8 I was able to shoot these in a more natural afternoon light for as much detail. They are a very good representation of what exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 On its own I might not have a guess for it. But if it has aventurine like the rest -- and it does, right? -- then I'd keep it with the rest of the Peltier Zebras. If it doesn't have aventurine, then I'd wonder if it belonged with your Alleys. You have so many nice examples of both makers. Wish I could pick it up off the screen to try to find seams and trace ribbons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fentonacres Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Keeping it together. For now I am just "re-bagging" what I photograph for I.D. purposes but keeping with how I originally sorted them. BELIEVE ME... I wish I could sit down at a nice long table with you all and just have you hold and look at them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fentonacres Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 And, yes, they all have aventurine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
