Vancecrash Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Love this place, thank you to everyone for being here. As you may suspect I'm new, both to the forum, and to collecting. I purchased an auction lot of 2000 marbles not long ago and I am just starting to have some fun. Check out this oddball cats eye that I found while sorting. Any information about odd inclusions like this one? It looks like some boogery tornado cloud like blob from very near the surface, to almost half way the center. There is no disturbance to the surface, and does not intersect the ribbon inside. Thanks in advance for any comment and insight!

Royal3 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Vance I’m sorry but I can’t seem to focus on your picture - it’s a bit too close. I will say most inclusions in marbles are pieces of unmelted sand or chunks of fire brick from older furnaces. I look for such things because I like oddities - I’ll try to post a couple of pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 It looks like some of the furnace brick inside the marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindPW Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 This is a giant piece of furnace brick in one of my 1” Master shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindPW Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Wow I have no idea why my picture is that big. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal3 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 It looked fine here Lind, no worries - and what a nice photo it is, too, with that big chunk of debris in there. It seems like Masters had “chunkier” marbles than anyone else, maybe because of their furnace, maybe because their styles allowed you to see them?

Vancecrash Posted July 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 I am a bit of an oddities fan myself. Thanks for the education. I am getting ready to post some marbles for ID help. First I'm going to read the photo tips giode. Thanks again! Vance Crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal3 Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I finally found those two "chunky" Master Sunbursts pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
