coolbrezz Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I voted before you had the pics up! So I said 0. Now I want to say 2.The two on the left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris7047th Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 The #2 or the center one with the black "crud"? Possibly the one on the left as well. Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I don't see swirling in any base, but I see bubbles in the center and left ones - so I'll guess the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocci Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 this is tough. I would say the center one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Dog Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I think the right is the only Realer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankgrrl29 Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 it's not obvious, but all 3 marbles have aventurine. i don't know the size. 5/8 or something like that. okay hold on...i'll go measure...... okay, all 3 are 21/32 - give or take a 64th ~chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I don't think any of them are - JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankgrrl29 Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 looks like roughly 2.5 correct guesses out of 13 or so, which is why i cringe whenever someone posts an unqualified ID of 'acme realer' in response to a picture of a mossy looking patch. here are the same three marbles, same positions - backlit. notice how dense the baseglass is on the two left marbles, while the one on the right turns practically clear, revealing some motion inside with a touch of opalescense (and even a hint of feathering!): edit: man, i'm a dolt - sorry - the Acme Realer is the ONE on the right thanks for playing ~chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snadyk Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Chris????.....Um, I don't want to seem like a dummy..... but which one exactly was the correct one? (I picked the one on the right BTW...and voted for 1.) was I correct? or do I get the Boobie prize???? And YES you need to spell it out to me. (or at least cirlce the correct one.)....LOL!

Scoop Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Soooooo Thennnnn, that would be a way to ID them??? (Not having a clue and so didn't even vote to see what the results looked like!! LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tankgrrl29 Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Soooooo Thennnnn, that would be a way to ID them??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> comparing to a known example would be my personal recommendation. some are a little more obvious than others. i've found some while out hunting that i thought sure were peltiers, then when i got them home to compare, found that they weren't after all. but if you can backlight the marble and see the above features, there's a good chance you got one. congrats to the winning guesses - you may all "high-5" one another ~chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tankgrrl29 Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Ive never got into Acme Realers , i have some are they getting popular or are they hard to find? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> this is a totally rough guesstimate, but i think regular peerless patches outnumber acme realers around 10-1. they're kinda like whiteys in the respect that they're not particularly eye-appealing, but to some people (like me) they're fun to find. and....every once in a while you find an oddball, which makes them extra fun. ~chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I LIKE MARBLES Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Why do most people think Realers look like Rainbo's and when did people find out that they aint Rainbo's. some older books show Realers looking like pelt bloodies. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
