bumblebee Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Here's a great shot of the Vitro Agate veneering on a Tiger Eye that lost its "cap". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Nice bump! I LOVE this topic. Still intriguing that the cost difference between the base glass and glass in the veneer was so great that money was saved by going to all the expense of complicated veneering machinery.

I've had dyed agates bisected - antique German (red-brown ones) as well as modern. The dye only penetrates a millimeter or two into the snot colored stone. Also destroyed an (already damaged) "gutta percha" marble - color is on the surface of a black, dense thermosoftening resin. And of course, cracked ceramic marbles will reveal the difference between porcelain type and yelloware benningtons or mochaware (decoration on the surface) vs. agateware (colored clays throughout the body of the marble). Will try to come up with some pics. Well, here's an update I should have done way back when. This is probably one of the marbles that Hansel was speaking of.

Chad G. Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 "Onionskin Hammertime" Some do have inner cores of color, this one definitely doesn't, guess this one's already been gutted. Through the Rabbit hole w/ a Maglite, what once was a huge marble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 The damage on that one is strangely appealing. It looks like a really fancy hunk of mineral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
