Are these Catseyes or something else?

[Mikie_T]

I just got a batch of marbles from the antique store.

Is this a catseye??? 

I guess I have never seen one where the vanes fade from one color to another. From yellow to orange...

 

[Mikie_T]

There is several of these on the batch. Some change from blue to green.

And then this one cleaned up pretty nice....

Oxblood?

Yep, the first two are cat's-eyes.  What collectors call "hybrid cat's-eyes," meaning more than one color on each vane.  Vitro Agate seems to have made most of them

Thanks for the ID Ann.

The batch I got had some white to blue transitions and this one is Red, White and Blue.

Love the red, white and blue.

 

 

What Ann said about the Vitro hybrid cat's eyes.

 

 

And yes, I think you have some oxblood in that other marble.

Thanks Steph!

Hi ... what name do you like to go by for short?

Would love to hear about marbles  from your area ... some day ... if you're willing.
