Group 012: possible oxblood in marbles?

[Jjay]

I was wondering who made these and if any of them have oxblood coloring. Thanks for all your help.

I don't see oxblood.

 

Well, maybe on marble #6. Maybe more views in different light?  

 

The rest would be general West Virginia swirls.  Good chance Alley, but I'd just put them in the general lots which I don't worry about making much off of. 

 

The first important thing to note is that oxblood is opaque.  So, that's one thing that you/we need to check on #6.  

 

In the other marbles the red is easily letting light get through.

 

Now, there _are_ some marbles with both transparent red and opaque oxblood, and those get tricky when ID-ing them on a computer monitor, but for this lot, rule out the first five, and let's see a little more of #6.

Oxblood should look like the oxblood on the Akros you have posted in a few other posts. You should use those to help you id other oxblood. If it doesn't match, it is probably a red or brown

Thanks. I appreciate it. Here is a few more views of #6. I see a little bit of black but not much. I know it's not a value marble, I'm just trying to determine when oxblood is present. I wouldn't ever want to portray it as something that it's not. 

Thanks to both of you for your help.

I'm not seeing oxblood.  Everything looks transparent or translucent.  

For education sake, try the experiment Sean suggested. Get one more more of your Akro oxbloods and put them next to this marble.  

I'm trying to think of a good adjective to describe the Akro oxblood texture, and failing.  But I _think_ you'll see the difference.
