fentonacres Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 When I originally sorted out my inherited collection, I put this pretty (yes, I said it... "pretty") cat in with another marble with similar colors. Took a closer look at it today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Oregon Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Foreign - Japanese - 3-way cross-through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Nice match on the colors. The other marble is a probably a Vitro All Red. If that's orange enough and not red, it could turn into a Tiger Eye. The three-way cross-through is a special one. It's one of the collectible cat's eyes. (Most Asian cat's eyes have three pairs of colors adjacent to each other. When one of the pairs crosses through that's good. When all three cross through that's even better.)

fentonacres Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 ^^^ Thanks. When my brain is not so tired... I need to think that thru and analyze... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Here are the two kind of cross-throughs I meant there: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/20993-calling-all-cats-eyes/?p=185640 Winnie's first group has one cross-through (the white vanes). Her second group are three-way cross throughs like yours. Both are special. People don't often take pictures of the common ones with no cross-throughs. But I put in a special request for some pics. And I know I can find or take some if no one else thinks that's a fun idea. (I have a love-hate relationship with cameras ... I have to psych myself up to use them. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Winnie came through for us. She took a picture of the more common variety -- three colors but the vane pairs are adjacent: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/20993-calling-all-cats-eyes/?p=193417 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
