Steph Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 You have many cat's eyes. They are common. The angel figure is called a sulphide. It is the most interesting marble. Do you have a blacklight? A blacklight can help determine if it is an older marble or a newer marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 You cannot age a marble by a blacklight. Old marbles and new marbles both can glow under a blacklight. Marbles made in the last couple years can also glow. Certain named marbles are required to glow under blacklight to be that known marble. An Alley Pistachio marble needs to glow. Akro Lemonade needs to glow, etc. . You have some marble killer ball bearings in the group. Remove any ball bearings as they damage marbles every time they come in contact. A key for marble value is #1 condition, condition, condition, not matter how old or rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Supposedly the clear glass on older sulphides glows a little under blacklight and on modern ones it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 New sulfides can glow. Some old sulfides can glow and some do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
