fentonacres Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Spent a few minutes with my "brokens" this morning. This little number appeared black. But when I backlit it it appears a dark purple. Although it is chipped, the "mold' or the way it was made seems to have rings. I don't think I have seen that on any other marbles that I own.

wvrons Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Looks like a machine made with roll marks. Many marbles which appear black are purple. If you backlight the black ones with a very strong light or slice it thin enough, it will be purple many more times than true black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nantucketdink Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Some people call this cold roll pattern ying/yang or rams horns. You can see why. It is more obvious in a multi colored marble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
